Can the decisions of Medical Board or of Medical Appeal Tribunal be reviewed?
Yes. If the Medial Board or the Medical Appeal Tribunal is satisfied by fresh evidence that a. decision was given because of non-disclosure or mis-representation of a material fact, it can review its earlier decision at any time. A Medical Board can also review its earlier assessment of extent of disablement, if it is satisfied that there has been substantial and unforeseen aggravation of the results of the relevant injury and substantial injustice would be done by not reviewing it. Such review, however, cannot be made earlier than 5 years or in the case of the provisional assessment, earlier than 6 months of the date of assessment to be reviewed.
