Key Post Making a claim for personal injuries through the Injuries Board (PIAB)

I heard recently the Injuries Board will accept the required medical report from a physiotherapist. So, there's scope to skip the doctor, self refer to the physio and, presumably after a treatment course, have the physio complete the medical assessment report. Is there a downside to this approach?

Doctors have to use their form even though one form does not fit all situations.
