Hi all
Wondering if I could get your thoughts on this one.
I recently separated my shoulder, tearing the ligaments around the ac joint and displacing my collarbone by around 3cm, all in all a pretty painful experience which even after a month isn't settling down and is making work difficult and life pretty tiring in general at the moment.
NHS timescales for getting this looked at are slooow, so I'm considering going private. Without any private medical insurance, I was looking at paying this directly myself however another contractor I spoke to suggested paying for the medical treatment from my limited company.
From reading the HMRC guidance it would seem that providing I'm able to prove the following, then this is something which I could pay from the limited company:
been assessed by a health care professional as unfit for work (or will be unfit for work) because of injury or ill health for at least 28 consecutive days
Any thoughts on this? Is this something at the discretion of the company or something which I would have to provide to HMRC should I be challenged on this.
TIA
