LegalCase (LegalApi DTO)

LegalCase (LegalApi DTO) is a data-transfer object in the SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal.LegalApi component grouping of SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal. It represents a single legal case search result, aggregating the claim, board/agency case numbers (WCB, DCBS, OWCP, OALJ, BRB), and case status/type for consumption by an external LegalApi case-search consumer.*

Purpose

• Carries the claim identifiers and every external agency case-number variant (WCB, DCBS, OWCP, OALJ, BRB) alongside case status and type, so a single search result can be matched to the case across all agency systems.*

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal.LegalApi
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal
