Can anyone fax me a copy of R(S) 6/78? (new medical opinion is not a change of circs). Might also be useful for Rightsnet's collection of CDs. My fax is 0709 205 3044.

Thank you.

no but this is on the disability alliance's website:

"new medical opinion

R(S)6/78 states that obtaining a different medical opinion is not a change of circumstance , though it may be evidence of it. R(M)5/86 and CM/431/1991 endorse this view. CIB/3899/1997 agrees but states that where there is evidence of an actual change of circumstances or a mistake of fact tribunals should look at the earlier decision and the evidence upon which it was based. See also CIB/2338/2000* and CIB/2811/2005"

It's on our Social Security Law CD-Rom. I've emailed it to you.
