Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can make returning to work impossible. It's a well-recognised basis for TPD claims in Australia, especially among first responders, defence and frontline workers.
Who commonly claims for PTSD
- Police, paramedics and firefighters
- Defence and ex-defence personnel
- Nurses and emergency department staff
- Anyone exposed to traumatic events at work
Building a strong claim
Psychiatric reports, a clear diagnosis, treatment records and evidence of how PTSD affects your daily functioning and work capacity all help. Consistency over time is important.
You may have cover you forgot about
