New Brunswick Social Development uses this eye examination report when a social assistance applicant or client aged 18 or older asks to be certified as blind. Certification rests on the report itself, so the policy says the Medical Advisory Board usually does not need to review blind applications. Once granted, certification in the Blind category is permanent.
The appropriate practitioner completes the examination report, and the policy's definition of blind requires legal blindness confirmed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. The applicant signs an Authorization To Receive Information form.

A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source.

Policy 1.2 asks for the appropriate practitioner or practitioners, and the policy's definition of blind refers to a person confirmed to be legally blind by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. The examination findings are what Social Development relies on to certify the person in the Blind category.
Certification by the Medical Advisory Board in the Blind, Deaf or Disabled categories is permanent. For existing clients, retroactive payments start on the first of the month in which they expressed intent to apply or turned 18, whichever is later; for new applicants, from the case start date.
