The Decision Support Service has published a news article on its website:
“People using the DSS services will be able to log into a portal, called ‘MyDSS’, and create their own account. They will be guided through the process of applying for an arrangement or managing an existing arrangement. The easiest way to register with the DSS is to use a ‘MyGovID’ to access online services.
[…]
Signing up for a ‘MyGovID’ account involves a number of steps. People will need to have the following on hand: their name on their birth certificate; an email address; a mobile phone number; their PPS number; and their public services card.”
It seems clear that the intention is that “when people sign up with the DSS they can access the information they need – such as submitting an application, checking the status of application or viewing an arrangement – through their own individual account using a PC/laptop, tablet, or their phone.”
It remains to be seen whether this is going to be workable for those individuals who need assistance with decision-making.
