How will I pay my living expenses while I am waiting for the claim to resolve?

This will depend upon the nature of your claim, however:-
• You may be entitled to WorkCover statutory benefits to replace your income.
• You may be entitled to release of your superannuation benefits.
• You can claim income protection or trauma insurance if you have a policy in place as well as seek damages for negligence.

If none of the above options are available to you, you should apply for Centrelink benefits as soon as possible, you may be entitled to sickness benefits or a disability support pension.
