Income Protection Insurance Claim.
As my new top level Chemobrain challenge, I am trying to work out how to lodge my Income Protection Insurance claim as a self-employed person. My GP and surgeon and oncologist filled in the relevant form a couple of months ago. But in addition, I have to prove my business income and expenditure for the exact year from diagnosis/finishing work back 365 days. So I had to do my long overdue BAS return for the last quarter of last year, and correct some errors, and get copies of paperwork from the ATO. Managed to get that done, and am preparing to photocopy a year's BAS statements, plus record of earnings and costs for the first week of January each week. But I have no faith they will pay me anything, and suspect that anything they do pay will be eaten up in tax anyway. Talk about a defeatist attitude eh! :-)
