I suppose one of the concerns is the ability within a short space of time to get that documentary evidence. We all know how difficult it is in some circumstances to access a GP, and certainly for something like this it may take a little longer. Will there be any provision within the current arrangements that will allow, for example, a family to contact their department to say that an error has been made and to put a hold on withdrawing the payment and providing the opportunity for the register to be corrected, even if it is not within that two-week time frame?
