The Challenge
A 41-year-old male Warehouse Supervisor insured with Aware Super was diagnosed with chronic sciatica, a condition that resulted in intense pain radiating down his lower back and legs, significantly impacting his mobility. The physical nature of his job, which involved heavy lifting, long hours of standing, and overseeing warehouse operations, became increasingly difficult to manage as his symptoms worsened. Realizing that he could no longer continue in his role, he sought the assistance of Thankyou Super to secure a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim to ensure his financial stability.
The Solution
Thankyou Super took immediate action, working closely with the client’s physiotherapist and pain management specialist to gather comprehensive medical reports that documented the severity of his chronic sciatica and its impact on his ability to work. These documents were crucial in building a compelling case for the TPD claim.
Step 1: Assessing the Impact on Work
Thankyou Super conducted a thorough consultation with the client and his medical team to fully understand how chronic sciatica affected his ability to perform his duties as a Warehouse Supervisor. This assessment was essential in demonstrating that the condition had permanently impaired his capacity to work.
Step 2: Building a Comprehensive Claim
With the necessary medical documentation gathered, Thankyou Super compiled a robust claim package. This included detailed medical reports, a personal statement from the client, and feedback from his employer confirming his inability to continue in his role due to his condition.
Step 3: Submitting and Advocating
The claim was submitted to Aware Super, accompanied by a comprehensive cover letter that emphasized the permanent and disabling nature of chronic sciatica. Thankyou Super maintained regular communication with the insurer to ensure the claim was processed efficiently and fairly.
The Results
The TPD claim was approved, resulting in a $21,140 payout. This financial support provided the client with the resources needed to manage his health and transition to a lifestyle that accommodated his condition.
