| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Working with the lawyer from the medical reports, extract for each condition the diagnosis, treatment, whether it is said to be stabilised, and the functional findings, and set them against the descriptors of the Impairment Table the lawyer selects, with report and page references. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides which Tables apply by claim date, whether each condition is diagnosed, reasonably treated and stabilised, what rating each Table supports, and whether the 20-point and Program of Support rules are met. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: Working with the lawyer from the medical reports, extract for each condition the diagnosis, treatment, whether it is said to be stabilised, and the functional findings, and set them against the descriptors of the Impairment Table the lawyer selects, with report and page references.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which Tables apply by claim date, whether each condition is diagnosed, reasonably treated and stabilised, what rating each Table supports, and whether the 20-point and Program of Support rules are met.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm whether the 2023 or the 2011 Impairment Tables apply, by the date of the claim or review.
2. Check each descriptor relied on against the text of the Table, not a paraphrase.
3. Check that points are only combined across Tables where the Program of Support rule is met.
4. Confirm each finding of stabilisation or reasonable treatment comes from a treating report, not an inference by the tool.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
