You should only do so in cases where the work item appears on another work list such as Overpayments Requiring Review (LOPU) and is being worked from that list. Once you delete a case the work list will not be repopulated with the work item.

You cannot delete a case manually from the list if the entry is on a Debt Management Office list.
