How to use the Index

The Index is a database containing selected decisions categorized by main issue and sub issues. The main issues are headings that generally parallel the chapters of the Digest of Benefit Entitlement Principles.

There is a summary for each decision entered into the Index. Some decisions have more than one summary. Each summary relates to a main issue and/or sub-issue.

Issues Search

By clicking on Issues Search, a menu will appear of main issues that generally parallel the chapter titles of the Digest. Further clicking on a main issue will bring forth another screen with all the sub-issues related to the main issue. Click on Issues Search for further search details.
