101: Procedures for determining incapacity for employment and vocational independence

You could also call this:

"Rules for deciding if you can work or not"

When the law says the Corporation needs to figure out if you can work or not, they have to follow certain rules. These rules are explained in section 103 or section 105 of the law.

Sometimes, the Corporation also needs to decide if you can work independently. This is called 'vocational independence'. When they do this, they must follow the rules in sections 107 to 110 and also look at clauses 24 to 29 in Schedule 1 of the law.

The Corporation can't just make these decisions any way they want. They have to stick to these specific parts of the law to make sure everything is fair and done properly.
