Thank you for this interesting document (see previous post).
To avoid misgendering, the use of gender-neutral pronouns such as they, them or their may be more appropriate in some circumstances. Gender-neutral pronouns, such as ‘zie’ and ‘hir’, may also be used. Most importantly, pronouns used should align with those requested by the person and should be used consistently. If you are unsure, respectfully ask the person what their preferred pronoun is and ensure that you use this pronoun when communicating.
There are some issues that require clarification. Could you provide the context in which these terms would be used. Could you also indicate the difference between ‘zie’ and ‘hir’, when they should be used and how these words are pronounced. This information would make it easier for IMEs when dealing with people who do not regard themselves as fitting into the system of binary genders.

Re: Clarification of article within IME Insight May 2018
To clarify further, the standard number of questions you should receive within the referral letter is 12. The Agent may request additional questions however they should not exceed a total number of 15 (questions).

You advise that agents should ask no more than 15 questions. How does this reconcile with the New mental Injury Eligibility Questions? There are 13 main questions and a possible 25 subsidiary questions.
