For intermittent periods between standard review points, a certificate from a qualified medical practitioner is satisfactory.

For ongoing continuous incapacity supported by general practitioner (GP) or specialist medical opinion, no further certification is required until the next scheduled review. 

In exceptional circumstances, if delegates are satisfied that new medical evidence is not required at the 6 pay review to support payment of incapacity compensation beyond 12 weeks the reasons for this should be documented.
