A person is 45 years of age, has 81 impairment points from a number of conditions including psychological, and receives a class A CSC pension. The treating psychiatrist has stated that no form of rehabilitation is likely to improve the person’s capacity for remunerative work to more than 10 hours per week in the next 5 years. The psychiatrist does indicate that the person could benefit from medical and psychosocial rehabilitation so that the person’s conditions do not further deteriorate and the person is able to better engage socially. Although a rehabilitation assessment has not been undertaken, and the person has not participated in rehabilitation, there would be sufficient evidence to consider the person SRDP eligible. The person should also be referred for a rehabilitation assessment to assist their general wellbeing.
