Two deadlines in the same case, and only one is being tracked.

The application arrives and the clock starts on the day of receipt. If an expert assessment is commissioned, a different deadline applies, and notice of this must reach the insured person before the first one expires. Receipt, commissioning and follow-up are handled in three different places in the organisation.

3 weeksstandard deadlineIt starts on the day of receipt, not the day the case is assigned to a case officer.
5 weeksdeadline with assessmentIf the Medical Service is commissioned, the longer deadline applies, and the notice must go out beforehand.
2systemsDate of receipt and commissioning are recorded separately; the calendar follow-up only captures one of them.
1overlooked weekA single unnoticed calendar week turns an open application into an approval.

Because every running deadline is checked daily against both systems, the overlooked week disappears, and with it 60% of missed deadlines.

The 60% reduction in missed deadlines is this agent's headline figure. The two deadline lengths depend on whether an assessment is commissioned; the number of systems involved and the overlooked week describe a typical case in benefits case handling; they are not measurements.

Three steps through the process.

The agent checks every running deadline daily against both systems and flags it five days before expiry; the case officer decides on the application itself.

Record receipt and start of deadline

The agent takes the date of receipt from the case management system and starts the deadline from that date. For every case it records which deadline length applies and why.

Deadline sheet for application GF-2026-0871, received 4 February, standard deadline to 25 February

Keep a follow-up for every case

The agent sets the follow-up five days before the expiry date. If commissioning an assessment changes the deadline length, it moves the follow-up accordingly.

Follow-up 5 days before expiry, 12 cases this calendar week

Flag approaching expiry

The agent places the cases in the daily list sorted by time remaining. The case officer decides which to pick up first.

What the agent does not do.

It does not extend deadlines.

It shows the time remaining and the expiry date. Whether and when a notice goes out to the insured person is the case officer's decision.

It does not commission the Medical Service.

It reports that commissioning changes the deadline length and records the status. The case officer issues the commission.

It cannot see a deadline whose trigger has not been recorded.

An application sitting on paper in a tray has no date of receipt as far as it is concerned. It starts counting only once the case is recorded in the case management system.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Deemed Approval Deadline Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 4 to 6 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud, private cloud or on-premises. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “60% fewer missed deadlines” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
