Referring a worker

Complete the referral form and provide a copy of all relevant documents to the tribunal—use our tribunal referral checklist to make sure you include all relevant information about previous claims so that:

• the tribunal is aware of previous similar injuries
• assessment can be apportioned accordingly.

The referral is an official register of documents being submited to a tribunal. If the claim has been to a previous tribunal, you only need to list and attach documents received since that tribunal. Do not forward the referral if there are reports outstanding.

You don't need to include:

• accounts
• claim payments
• travel itineraries
• internal emails or memos
• general correspondence from insurer to worker or doctors
• witness statements or investigation reports.

We've put together a list of injuries and illnesses by tribunal to help identify the appropriate tribunal for your referral.
