</p><p> </p><p>It is not possible to obtain condition information on outstanding claims
under the WPS and AFCS. This is because the accepted/rejected medical condition information
is only available to search once a claim has been cleared.</p><p> </p><p>Due to how
the data is held and processed, the following should be noted:</p><p> </p><p><strong>WPS
and AFCS<br> <br> </strong></p><ol><li>The information presented on WPS and AFCS relates
to the number of people who have claimed for chronic pain.</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="2"><li>Claimants
identified with both a chronic primary and secondary pain condition have only been
counted towards a primary condition to manage the risk of double counting.</li></ol><p>
</p><ol start="3"><li>Claimants who have multiple chronic pain related conditions
within either primary or secondary have an outcome of ‘accepted’ if any of the conditions
have been accepted; otherwise, they are recorded as an outcome of ‘rejected’.</li></ol><p>
