The main applicant identifier should be the same person identifier that is used by the social housing authority across different housing programs.

For example, if a household first received direct lending assistance in the 2001-2002 financial year and has a balance outstanding on their loan at the commencement of the 2012-13 financial year, the assistance received date for direct lending assistance will be the date their loan was issued in the 2001-2002 financial year.  If they then commence receive ongoing mortgage relief on this loan in the 2011-12 financial year and continue to receive mortgage relief in the 2012-13 financial year, then the assistance received date for mortgage relief will be when it was first provided in the 2011-12 financial year.
