During your day to day work you may come across a client that you feel requires or would benefit from rehabilitation intervention. Some of the reasons you may refer a client to rehabilitation could be:
Should delegates receive a request from clients for Household Services and or Attendant Care and Aids and Appliances referral to the RCG Rehabilitation team should be made. Decisions on these requests are made based on an assessed need usually from an occupational therapist. More detailed instructions on claims for these specific benefits are included in the Rehabilitation Handbook.
Complete an Internal Rehabilitation Referral form (SF1) and attach to the front of the client's compensation file and forward to rehabilitation section.
To avoid unnecessary work make sure you check Defcare before you refer client as they may already be on a rehabilitation program.
If in any doubt contact the Rehabilitation Team.
