The exceptional circumstances that would be considered appropriate grounds for considering an application for occupational injuries benefit by a person who applied more than six months from the date of the injury are set out in regulations - where it is shown to the satisfaction of a deciding officer or an appeals officer that the delay was due to information provided by an officer of the Minister or that the delay was due to a person being so incapacitated that he or she was unable to make a claim or appoint a person to act on his or her behalf.
