Description

Moving a TODO out of the code for start years of:

  • Attendance Allowance
  • Carer's Allowance
  • Constant Attendance Allowance
  • Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit

Currently the values are set from 2015. We should look at legislation.

Research direction

Locate the definitions for Attendance Allowance, Carer's Allowance, Constant Attendance Allowance, and Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit, including their current 2015 start-year values and TODO. Check the relevant UK legislation for each programme. Done means the legislation-supported start years are recorded in place of the current values and the affected tests or validation checks pass.
