An eligible case decision is first turned into a set of virtual components, one virtual component for each of associated case decision objectives. The start and end dates of these virtual components will match the start and end dates of the decision. If the decision is open-ended the virtual components will also be open-ended.
For example, a case decision which indicates eligibility for the Income Assistance component from 13th June 2011 until 29th July 2011 would generate a virtual component starting on 13th June 2011 and ending on 29th July 2011.
