What if I am dissatisfied with some aspect of the examination?
If there is anything at all that worries you about the examination, tell the Medical Panel. If for some reason this is not possible, or you are not happy with what you’ve been told, you can contact the Convenor’s office. Complaints about aspects of Medical Panel examinations should be directed to:

What if I am dissatisfied with the Medical Panel Opinion?
You should seek legal advice. The Opinion of a Medical Panel on a medical question must be accepted as final and conclusive. The law does not allow a Medical Panel to review its Opinion unless by order of the Supreme Court.
As a Medical Panel has the status of a Tribunal it is inappropriate for the Convenor of Medical Panels or any member of a Medical Panel to enter into correspondence with any party concerning a Medical Panel’s Opinion or Reasons for Opinion
