The Policy, Regulation and Research Division is releasing a discussion paper on the PDES 2018 Review with options and draft policies to stakeholders for comment.
The PDES is a guide set out in policy to assist in the calculation of permanent disability awards. As medical and scientific methods and approaches to disability assessment change over time, it is necessary to review the PDES and associated policies regularly to ensure the content remains current.
The discussion paper, draft policies, and information on how to provide feedback can be accessed through the following link:

The consultation period for this item will end at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, May 31, 2019. The Board of Directors will consider stakeholder feedback before making a decision on the proposed policy.
