Armorel Young Apr 20, 2016:
Indeed ... It would be good form to provide more context, since otherwise we cannot tell from the form of the question what form of form this is about.
Jonathan MacKerron Apr 20, 2016:
With Armorel there are forms, and then there are forms...
philgoddard Apr 20, 2016:
I'm glad you asked!
Armorel Young Apr 20, 2016:
What sort of form? Is this "form" as in "piece of paper to be filled in" or as in "a type/sort of something"?

a special form common to particular offices, companies schools, etc.

A prescribed form is one which is put into general use for all offices of the same class, whereas an
approved form is a computerized form for special use in a particular office.

The link below is a prescirbed form for an admission to a Japanese University (both in English and Japanese).

So in this case, prescribed form is one part of a form which must be filled out and submitted to the service provider in order to return to work by the injured worker.

Peer comment(s):

disagree B D Finch : That it is not the meaning of the word "prescribed"!// I have absolutely no problem with competent non-native speakers answering English monolingual questions. Try looking "prescribed" up in a dictionary; I don't need to do it for you.

I know that you don't like non-native English speakers answering English monolingual questions, but not convincing at all without any refs to support your comment.
neutral philgoddard : B D is right, and she doesn't need references.

Prescribed forms are designed for a special office or purpose, not all offices.
