Calculating the benefit rate
SWIFTT will automatically calculate the rate of benefit payable when you add the client's income on the INCMA screen. If income is declared late it may be appropriate to complete a back dated review SBDR. SWIFTT will prompt you when a back dated review is required. You will need to check SRAUI to determine the period the review is required for.
You can use the Income Assessment tab in DREW to estimate the benefit rate with income for the client.
Note income must be rounded down to the nearest dollar.
