RE: Gathering evidence for an Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit appeal
Mon 19-Apr-10 07:53 PM |
think about the effects of the accident/industrial disease on the claimant and ask questions related to that - which part of his body was injured and what does the claimant say the effects are? possibly think about the things he can/can't do in the context of the PCA as well - helps focus thoughts, if nothing else.
but also bear in mind that the gp may not be aware of the relevant disabilities ..
and take a full and detailed statement from your client on the effects the accident/disease is having on his ability to perform whatever tasks are relevant...
and try and relate that to some of the "given" percentages...
also - check to see if there's anything else he can claim IIDB for, as if there is, and he gets something for that/those, the percentages will be added up, of course...
