Can someone clarify on the DIAC's definition of Closely related Occupation?

Often, the nominated occupation and the work occupation may differ.

Do all employers reference/experience letters need to mention the "occupation" as per ASCO SOL?

Does DIAC ask for clarification and accordingly award points? Kindly share your experiences on the work experience/MODL related points?

Work experience:

If your nominated occupation is:

worth 60 points
and
you have been employed in your nominated occupation, or a closely related occupation listed on the SOL, for at least three (3) of the four (4) years before the day of your application.


Occupation in demand (MODL):
If all the following apply:
your nominated occupation is in demand on the MODL
you have been employed in your nominated skilled occupation or a closely related skilled occupation for a period totalling at least one (1) year in the four (4) years immediately before you make your application.

Australian Work Experience:

Employed in your nominated occupation, or a closely related occupation, in Australia for at least one (1) year in the past four (4) years immediately before the day of your application.
