Hardship application - Granted, pending Lapsed - declined.
Monica made this Official Information request to Ministry of Social Development
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Monica to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Monica
Dear Ministry of Social Development,
When a case manager places a hardship application through, but the status is pending, how long before this changes to lapsed?
Once the application is lapsed, what is the next process?
Will the case manager then decline or grant the application? Or will it remain lapsed?
Is this a process that all staff should know?
Yours faithfully,
Monica
