RE: Income Support and 12 month backdated medical certs
Thu 19-Nov-09 02:57 PM |
“As far as I am aware it has not been possible to get the disability premium awarded for income support on the basis of getting a twelve month backdated medical cert from the doctor for many years”.
This is news to me. The issue of retrospective medical evidence was finally put to bed by CIS/2699/2002 and has not been opened up since, as far as I’m aware. See the commentary to schedule 2, paragraph (1)(b) of the IS Regs, top of page 552 of the current year’s law volume.
