Day 29 guidance
Now I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere but it isn’t in the HoC deposited papers, the ADM or the WCA handbook.
They can do a day 1 WCA referral if a person has “certain specified conditions”.
Where’s the list?
Maybe I’m lazy welfing but look at the time!
Section 1
You may be referred for a WCA on the first day of your claim when one of the following applies:
a medical professional has said you might have 12 months or less to live
you are pregnant and there is a serious risk of damage to your health, or to the health of your unborn child if you do not refrain from work or work-related activity
you are receiving or are about to receive treatment for cancer by way of chemotherapy or radiotherapy – or you are recovering from such treatment
you are in hospital or similar institution for 24 hours or longer
you are prevented from working by law
you are receiving treatment such as dialysis, plasmapheresis or total parenteral nutrition for gross impairment of enteric function or are recovering after receiving one of these types of treatment
I don’t know where the normal Day 29 guidance comes from (in terms of legislative basis)..
I don’t think there is anything in the legislation. It appears to be just guidance:

Thanks for that Mick. Sorry I’ve only just noticed your reply. That’s what I suspected..
