Summary:
A medical certificate certainly carries more weight than a simple statement from an employer in determining when the disability began, but eligibility for exemption under paragraph 57(3)(a) of the UIR (now 35(7)(a) of the EIR) is based on two essential factors: (1) the disability must be permanent; and (2) the disability must be declared.
