The gold MEH letters on the office wall

Preparing for a National Insurance medical committee

How to arrange the records before the committee, how to describe your limitations and what to check in the protocol afterwards.

Arranging the records

Arrange documents by medical issue and check that current information is available for the relevant injuries. Establish the committee’s purpose and what must be demonstrated under the specific claim route.

Describing your limitations to the committee

A diagnosis is only part of the picture. A clear account of limitations at work and in everyday activities can help present the case. Legal preparation focuses the submissions and evidence; the medical assessment belongs to the authorised professionals.

The decision and the protocol

After the committee, review the minutes, findings and reasons. Questions about overlooked records or a defect in the decision require examination of the applicable review procedure and deadlines. No specific disability percentage can be guaranteed, and claims may also be submitted independently.

Advice on your own case
