Watermark & additional support marker

We're waiting for Frank Zola to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

RE: "DWP existing procedures and policies,
decision making guides for how we identify claimants who require the additional support
marker"
11 February 2021 - FOI2021/09414
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/7...

Can you please disclose your existing 'procedures and policies, decision making guides' on how you identify "claimants who require the additional support marker" and whether an equivalent additional support marker exists can be/is applied to other benefits such as UC, ESA, JSA and CA?

If possible please provide a screen-shot example of an additional support marker on PIPCS and or a copy of information that shows such a marker.

Yours faithfully,

Frank Zola
