Origin

Benefit group can be defined as a collection of functionally related benfit types that: - are mutually exclusive - have some similar legislative characteristics - will be dealt with by one ent. calc. cluster - will use a common screen flow for new claims or reassessments. A benefit group is one in which a customer can be eligible for only one benefit type in the benefit group at one time. For example, within the Pensions Benefit Group, a customer cannot be concurrently eligible for more than one Pensions benefit type. Within ISIS, it should be noted that some Benefits Groups will have a one to one relationship to their Benefit System, while in other instances many Benefit Groups will relate to one Benefit System. Similarly some Benefit Groups will have a one to one relationship to their Benefit Types, while in other instances a Benefit Group may relate to many Benefit Types. NOTE: Emergency Payments are included as a benefit group to allow these payments to be mapped to the SBPY (Small Benefits Payments), even though they may be part of another benefit group. For example, DR (Disaster Payment) is part of NSS.
