Data users: View examples of the distribution of disputate data and test data reception
Data users can test the distribution of dispute data for earnings payment reports and benefits payment reports in the Incomes Register’s stakeholder testing environment.
- Data can be retrieved via the technical interface or in the e-service
- Testing can commence when the testing contact person has been informed of the execution of the data permission and requested the necessary test IDs.
Disputation flags are described in the data distribution schemas for earnings payment reports and benefits payment reports.
For up-to-date distribution documentation, visit our Documentation page: Data distribution
We have implemented examples of notifications containing disputation flags in the stakeholder testing environment. The examples demonstrate the process of distributing data subject claims for correction and restriction of data and status changes.
