This list of obvious diagnoses, i.e. those allowing the officer to streamline eligibility for the severely limited capacity for employment allowance, remains for the exclusive use of Income Security employees.
When a person asks to have a severely limited capacity for employment recognized and the medical report submitted indicates a diagnosis identical to one on this list, a severely limited capacity for employment is immediately recognized and a SLCE or mixed allowance, as the case may be, is immediately granted.
Some diagnoses must however be associated with specific characteristics. Additional administrative verifications may be required from the officer prior to granting immediately the severely limited capacity for employment allowance. Where required, these administrative verifications are identified in the list: following the wording of the diagnosis, they are double quoted. When the person does not meet any characteristics identified in the list or one thereof, the file must be submitted for evaluation.
If, in spite of a diagnosis identical to one on this list, the person maintains that he or she does not have a severely limited capacity for employment, the officer should see what other category of adult program could reasonably be applied. However, if it is a mental health diagnosis (the # sign appears in the list before the diagnosis) severely limited capacity for employment shall apply.
All other applicants whose diagnosis does not appear on this list are referred for purposes of eligibility to an evaluation committee, which determines whether severe limitations in the capacity for employment exist.
