So just to clarify that specific issue: are we suggesting that somebody may have their payments ceased—that is, their child care benefit payments or family tax benefit A—that that might occur over a period of weeks, possibly months, and then that it is up to the individual to provide documentary evidence to the department that the information on which that decision was made is incorrect? If that is the case, it is of great concern to us.
