Our client is a 51-year-old woman who was last employed as a Customer Service Officer. In 2009, she began to experience pain in her right upper arm as a result of the repetitive hand and arm movements required in her office role.
After taking some time off her work duties in 2010 she returned to work in 2011, however, in the months and years following her return to work, she observed an exacerbation of upper arm pain and became restricted in the use of her upper limbs. Upon seeing that her conditions were getting worse, our client attended upon her doctor and trialled a number of treatment options over the years which included but was not limited to cortisone injections, pain medication and physiotherapy. Failing all treatment available to her she was eventually forced to cease work due to her ongoing pain and disabilities in 2018.
Our client initially contacted the Solicitors at Gerard Malouf and Partners in relation to a Workers Compensation claim. While her condition was a result of the nature of her employment duties, we fortunately identified that there could be two simultaneous claims to be made on her behalf.

Fortunately, compensation is typically available for TPD sufferers through their superannuation fund or separate insurance policies. But what if you have TPD protection under more than one type of policy? Can you make multiple claims?
You’ll be happy to learn the answer is often ‘yes’. However, there are some factors to consider before pursuing claims.
You can purchase TPD insurance as a standalone product from insurers, although there’s a chance you may already be receiving total or partial coverage under other policies.
There are various ways that you may be entitled to disability benefits, including through:
However, you may not know how much you are eligible to receive and what criteria you must meet. Check the wording of your policies closely and contact a personal disability claims lawyer for information if you want further clarification.
