4 Check for a List B condition
4.1 How to find evidence that a person has a List B condition?
A person may inform us that they have a List B condition, or we might identify it when reviewing their disability evidence.
Before making an eligibility decision, make sure you review the application and any disability evidence for any diagnosed List B: Conditions that are likely to result in a permanent impairment (external).
4.2 If the person has a List B condition
If the person has evidence of a List B condition, only some of the disability and early intervention requirements are met.
The following disability requirements are met:
- The person has a disability that us caused by one or more impairments (s24(1)(a)).
- The person’s impairment or impairments are likely to be permanent (s24(1)(b)).
The following early intervention requirement is met:
- The person has one or more impairments that are likely to be permanent (s25(1)(a)).
You’ll need to then think about the remaining disability and early intervention requirements using articles:
- Understand disability requirements
- Understand early intervention requirements.
4.3 If the person doesn’t have a List B condition
If the person doesn’t have a List B condition, think about all of the disability and early intervention requirements using articles:
- Understand disability requirements
- Understand early intervention requirements.
