    who actually makes the decision on how much the award should be for the injuried person when the independent doctor/specialist sends in there report to the pib???
    How long does it take them to calculate the award?
    Is it ex-claim handlers from insurance companys ????

    Don't have answer for all your questions...... but I believe the typical running time (from point when liability is accepted/not disputed by respondent) is 7.2 months at present. That is until proposed reward then naturally more time elapses. Respondent has 21 days to say yes/no, claiment has 28 days to say yes or no then once agreed I believe (open to correction) respondent has 21 days to settle? I'm hazy on this number though.

    When you say "independent doctor/specialist" I presume you mean the injuries board appointed doctor/specialist?
