No, the longer time period is a consideration for the WCA too https://wcainfo.net/issues/majority-of-time-always

This quite honestly seems to be fairly standard for inaccurate reports. The tribunal will be used to seeing this issue raised in appeals.

  Good info, this works in my favour. Thanks for this.

Should I be quoting case law in my submission (due by next Weds)?

The DWP have quoted cases, but I guess they have standard responses they send to everyone.

What you should be focusing on is why you think LCWRA applies to you.

Yes, on the WCA I am.

Sorry i got confused because you have 2 threads on the go. I'm sure you knew what i meant though. I don't know why you're so focused on quoting case law. Focus on where you think you should have scored those points and your reasons why.

I know what you meant 

I'm not focussed on quoting case law, I was asking because the DWP have quoted several cases in their responses for both.

        Unless you are absolutely clear on the significance and relevance of any case law precedence, I wouldn't.

      The tribunal judge will be well aware of any relevant case law.  

      I sometimes wonder if the quotes from legalisation in the DWP bundle are in there to deter claimants - it is certainly not useful to the tribunal panel.

I was thinking that if I don't mention a case why would the judge refer to it?

I think you are relying on the expertise of the judge to know relevant case law.

I'm told that the DWP rarely attend an appeal, is this correct?
