However, while the Bill guarantees claimants are entitled to such advice, which was not the case when its heads were published, they are not entitled to compensation for the advice. It is likely the cost of legal advice will be deducted from the award. The Minister may well say that is reasonable but it is a long accepted legal principle that one's medical and other expenses are covered and it is extraordinary that one's legal costs or the costs of the advice one has taken to get to the point where an award to which one is entitled has been made will not be covered. This issue must be re-examined.
