It was unreasonable to require medical consultation on the day of incapacity or within 24 hours for episodic migraine where consultations add no clinical value; reasonable requirement is at least one in-person consultation per month with a monthly C15 certificate, supported by the claimant's diary and surgery records/telephone notes; the April 1995 dates must be accepted as valid for compensation calculation.
