State Benefits Sources (HMRC-Held and Customer Data)

State Benefits data can come from different sources: HMRC-Held and Customer. HMRC-Held data is state benefits data that HMRC have for the user within the tax year, prior to any updates made by the user. The state benefits data displayed in-year is HMRC-Held.

Customer data is provided by the user. At the end of the tax year, users can view any existing state benefits data and make changes (create, update and delete).

Examples of the prior user data can be found here in the income-tax-submission-stub
