Medical and Disability Appeal Tribunals 1993

The exceptional utility of this book results from its focus on those allowances and benefits which raise key issues before Medical and Disability Tribunals (MATs and DATs). Among other things, MATs deal with questions relating to industrial benefits, severe disablement allowances and recovery of benefits from damages. In April 1992, DATs came into operation covering such issues as disability working and living allowance. Mark Rowland, who is a Social Security Appeal Tribunal chairman and contributor to "Sweet & Maxwell's Employment Law Manual", has compiled a detailed commentary of all the most recent decisions of the tribunals. The current text of all relevant statutory material is reproduced and where essential to the understanding of key provisions, definitions of words and phrases are included. Quick access to all the provisions is ensured by comprehensive index and tables.
