Weighing evidence of disability
When completing an internal review, review officers will see a range of different types of evidence from varying health professionals and providers. When weighing the relevance and importance of the evidence of disability provided, the two main considerations a review officer needs to make are:
-
How old is the evidence
-
Who is providing the evidence.
