[Compensation claim forms in cases of occupational disability]

Versicherungsmedizin. 1991 Apr 1;43(2):55-61.
[Article in German]

Abstract

Confronted with the contents and questions of the Application Forms, presently in use for disability claims, it appears necessary to revise these forms in several details. Rulings by the Supreme Court to be considered and the existing great variety of definitions in the field of private and legal disability insurance--under the aspects of Social Law in general--call for a critical review, especially with regard to the details to be filled in by the police holder in support of his claim. The author is presenting 2 drafts of revised forms (Application Form for Disability Claims/Medical Report in the Case of Disability), which, in his opinion, should meet the requirements more effectively. On the other hand the author does not claim, that the presented drafts be the ultimate version.
