4.1 How to find evidence of a List A Condition?

A person may inform us that they have a List A condition, or we might identify it when reviewing their disability evidence.

If there’s evidence of a List A condition, the disability requirements are met.

If the person doesn’t have a List A condition, think about all the disability and early intervention requirements using articles:
