Third doctor referral not required due to lack of a CDP final medical assessment

Quick Summary:

Lack of a final medical assessment from the company-designated physician (CDP) negates the need to comply with the third doctor referral provision on seafarer’s disability claims.

The seafarer filed a case for total permanent disability claiming that he lost the possibility of being employed as a seafarer as he cannot tolerate the pain because of the injury.

The CDP issued on September 4, 2017 the final disability assessment of Grade 11 (slight rigidity or 1/3 loss of lifting power of the trunk).
