If the insurer decides the qualifying condition is not satisfied for the worker, the section 193A notice must state— the insurer’s decision; and that the worker may ask the insurer for written reasons for the decision; and that the worker may apply to the panel for a review of the decision only if the worker has asked the insurer for written reasons for the decision. If the insurer decides it does not have enough information to decide whether the qualifying condition is satisfied for the worker, the section 193A notice must state— the insurer’s decision; and that the worker may, within the period mentioned in section 131 (2) (a) , give the insurer information to enable the insurer to decide whether the qualifying condition is satisfied for the worker; and that, if the worker does not give the insurer the information within the period mentioned in paragraph (b) — the qualifying condition will be taken not to be satisfied for the worker; and the worker will not be entitled to section 193A compensation; and the worker will not have a right to apply to the panel for a review of the matters mentioned in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) .
