Lifetime Care and Support (Catastrophic Injuries) Act 2014

This section applies if an eligibility assessment panel is convened under section 35 to determine a dispute about an injured person’s eligibility to participate in the LTCS scheme.

The eligibility assessment panel must—

either—

confirm the LTCS commissioner’s decision (the original decision) under section 19 (LTCS scheme—acceptance as participant); or

revoke the original decision and substitute its own decision; and

give the LTCS commissioner a certificate of its decision in relation to the dispute, setting out the reasons for the decision.

The LTCS commissioner must give a copy of the eligibility assessment panel’s certificate to the injured person within 5 working days after the day the LTCS commissioner receives the certificate.

The eligibility assessment panel may correct an error in the certificate that arises from a clerical mistake or accidental slip or omission.
