Comment on this
The person concerned claimed occupational injury benefit in respect of an incapacity resulting from an occupational accident on 29 March 1982.
Pending the completion of investigations arising from the accident he was paid disability benefit on an interim basis together with pay-related benefit. Injury benefit was subsequently awarded in respect of the periods from 30 March, first day of incapacity, to 17 April 1982 and from 22 April 1982 to 6 September 1982, when he was examined by a medical referee and considered to be capable of work.
All injury benefit due over and above the disability benefit paid on an interim basis has been paid.
The person concerned has continued to submit medical certificates in respect of the same incapacity since January 1983 and he has been referred for examination again by a medical referee. His claim will be reviewed in the light of the report of that examination.
