When employers commission a WICA investigation

Cases usually arise where the reported injury circumstances are unclear, the claimed extent of disability seems inconsistent with observed activity, or there is a pattern of prior claims.

What the investigation covers

Work typically includes surveillance to observe actual physical capability, verification of the reported incident, and interviews or record checks where appropriate.

Regulatory source: The Singapore Police Force states that agencies supplying private-investigator services require a Private Investigation Agency licence, and deployed investigators must meet applicable licensing and training conditions. Read the SPF licensing requirements.

Supporting the claims process fairly

The goal is an accurate picture — findings are reported factually whether they support or undermine the claim, giving employers and insurers a sound basis for their next step.

Is surveillance evidence accepted in WICA disputes?

Surveillance evidence is commonly used in contested claims, though its weight and admissibility in a specific case depend on how it was gathered and should be confirmed with legal counsel.

How quickly can a WICA investigation start?

Once instructed, surveillance can typically begin within a short timeframe, particularly where timing is relevant to the claim.
