Your claim may be rejected for the following common reasons:

• Your form is incomplete

• No independent documentary evidence has been supplied to support your claim (support from students, family members or tutors are not normally sufficient on their own)

• Insufficient evidence that does not cover the incident or the period of time in question

• Your claim does not meet the criteria
• You have submitted your claim too late

• The medical evidence is retrospective and you were not seen at the time by the doctor
