Calculating Deduction Cover Periods

The cover period of the deduction financial component starts on the case deduction item start date, unless that date is before the last date paid out on the case. In that situation, the financial component cover period starts the day after the last date paid.

The cover period of the deduction financial component ends on the case deduction item end date, if specified. If no end date has been specified the expected end date of the case is used instead.

For example, if the case deduction item has a start date of 13th June 2011 and no end date is specified and the case to which it belongs has an expected end date of Sunday 10th July 2011 and has been paid up to Sunday 19th June 2011. The cover period of the deduction financial component would be from Monday 20th June 2011 to Sunday 10th July 2011.
