Prepare an occupational-disease refusal file
Prepare an occupational-disease refusal file by identifying the exact reason and the review route stated in the decision. Medical evidence and records of workplace exposure serve different purposes. Gather what was submitted and what is missing. This organiser helps classify the file; it does not diagnose the condition or establish its occupational cause.
Go to the organiserWhich situations should I distinguish?
| Situation | Purpose | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Recognition refused | Dispute occupational origin | Reason and listed conditions |
| Rating disputed | Dispute assessed lasting effects | Separate medical review route |
Are listed and unlisted diseases assessed identically?
A disease listed in an occupational-disease table and one outside the tables do not use exactly the same causation and conditions analysis.
Source 1 ↗Source 2 ↗Does a missing condition always exclude recognition?
Failure to meet one table condition does not always preclude recognition; examine the role of usual work and, where relevant, the CRRMP.
Source 1 ↗Source 2 ↗Is refusal of recognition the same as a rating dispute?
A refusal to recognise the disease is an administrative dispute, distinct from a medical dispute over an incapacity rating; the notice identifies the issue and appeal route.
Source 1 ↗Source 2 ↗What does a worked example show?
A refusal identifies an unproven condition, while the employee holds records describing the work performed.

Source 1 ↗Source 2 ↗Which documents make this file useful?
Start by locating these records: Complete refusal decision, envelope or service evidence, and appeal information; Initial claim, initial medical certificate and relevant medical file; History of jobs, exposures, tasks, products and employment evidence. Keep unknown or unavailable details marked as such; a checklist is not proof that a document exists.
What does the worked example demonstrate?
A refusal identifies an unproven condition, while the employee holds records describing the work performed. Connect each document to the refusal reason and have the medical evidence assessed separately. This fictional example demonstrates a preparation method, not the outcome of a real case.
Which mistakes can change the analysis?
Avoid these shortcuts: Challenging the outcome without answering the precise reason in the decision; Confusing the CRA route for an administrative decision with the CMRA route for a medical dispute.
Source 1 ↗Source 2 ↗Does completing the sheet submit a request?
No. The sheet organises your selected issue, available records and own notes. It sends nothing to an authority or another party, calculates no deadline and cannot suspend one. Copy the file and check the applicable procedure before acting. Connect each document to the refusal reason and have the medical evidence assessed separately.
