Review checklist

• [ ] Resolve benefit, variant, time period and claimant circumstances without inventing missing facts.
• [ ] Check each exact source passage and its adjacent pages against the official PDF.
• [ ] Locate every condition, exception, qualification and cross-reference needed for the declared question.
• [ ] Reconcile relevant legislation, amendments, ADM/DMG regime and effective dates.
• [ ] Record each supported claim against exact evidence IDs, with contradicting or missing evidence separately.
• [ ] Keep the answer insufficient until evidence requirements and claim-level assessment justify a bounded conclusion.

Boundaries

• Research review pack, not an answer, an entitlement decision or a complete legal evidence bundle.
• Candidate selection is project-authored and unreviewed. It is independent of the retained retrieval run and is not injected into search or Ask OKF.
• Each excerpt is an exact bounded substring of frozen machine text, with offsets, a literal hash and a whole-page link. Its surrounding qualifications may be outside the excerpt or on adjacent pages.
• Machine extraction can damage tables, footnotes, spacing and reading order. Compare each material proposition with the original PDF, adjacent text and cited legislation.
• Original source roles, capture dates and historical limitations remain unchanged. Current applicability and specialist acceptance are not established.
