December 2025

6 Commits • 5 Features

Dec 1, 2025

December 2025 delivered targeted data-model enhancements, workflow improvements, and stability fixes across the SSCS suite, strengthening regulatory compliance, WCA journey efficiency, and release reliability. Key features include adding ESA Regulations Year fields in the core data model with tests, a start date field with validation for UC WCA journeys, and a fixed-list ESA benefits field with tests; these changes enable accurate regulatory capture and consistent business rules across services. A notable bug fix corrected the DWP response date calculation for appeal notifications, reducing notification errors. A cross-repo dependency upgrade to enable UC WCA improvements was completed. Overall impact: clearer data semantics, improved user workflows, fewer defects, and smoother collaboration through aligned dependencies. Technologies demonstrated: Java, JUnit testing, data-model migrations, field validation, dependency/version management (Gradle), and multi-repo integration.
