Financial assistance ?

Hi Tam007, is that for Sickness Allowance? I went through this last year, I could get it but they estimated I needed to spend at least $7000 of my own savings and completely ceased work before it would kick in. USELESS! This year however, I found a component in one of my Supers, VicSuper that have income protection. I only found out this year post Chemo and it was  a 3 month waiting period. I then got backpaid 6 months lost wages. Currently I work 3 and get paid 2 through income protection and it lasts 2 years but they only pay up to 85%. Not all Supers have this built in however, it was sheer luck as I had no other way of income and am a single parent so it was tough not working for 4 months. Melinda xo
