Cathy had worked in physical jobs all her life. He last job involved lots of chemicals and she developed severe dermatitis. She had to stop work.
All the doctors agreed that Cathy couldn’t work with her hands any more and she didn’t have any formal education beyond high school.
We checked Cathy’s super fund for her and found that she could apply for income protection payments and for a lump sum for permanent disability of over $200,000.00
We made both claims and within 8 weeks the income protection claim was accepted and the TPD lump sum claim shortly after that.
Cathy had a major role in supporting her family financially. When it became clear that she couldn’t keep working, she and the family were in financial trouble.
The settlements have allowed Cathy and her family to get back on their feet and look forward to a better future.
