Sammanfattning
The objective was to study how general practitioners, specialists, and National Insurance Administration medical consultants reacted to the narrowed eligibility criteria for disability benefits in Norway from 1991. Records of first-time applicants for disability benefits from the first quarters of 1990 and 1993 were analysed for proposals from the physicians in relation to the decision.
