What we Specialise in / Benefits to you    

Our team of specialist military compensation lawyers will obtain all the statutory benefits and compensation that you as an injured Commonwealth worker are entitled to.

These compensation entitlements Include:

• Claims for a tax-free lump sum compensation for an injury or disease
  
• Claims to have the Commonwealth admit liability for your injury or disease - this means all further medical expenses for your accepted injury/disease are paid by the Commonwealth for as long as the injury afflicts you
  
• Claims for lost wages
  
• Challenges to proposed rehabilitation and retraining courses
  
• Claims against Comcare "just in case" you are not happy with the decision received
  
• Claims under ComSuper (A, B or C class pensions)
  
• Claims for incapacity payments
  
• Claims for discrimination matters
  
• Death Claims - dependant's entitlements

Benefits

Why you should see us first before you lodge your military compensation claim

For most of you this will be the first time you have had anything to do with the compensation system.

It is important that you have somebody with legal training to advise you on how to fill in your claim form and what evidence is required to maximise your entitlements to compensation.

Your case will be prosecuted and advanced with your interests in mind, not the financial interest of the Commonwealth.

The MCRS delegates work for the Commonwealth Government NOT for you. They are paid by the Commonwealth Government, NOT by you.

You just have to read the newspapers or watch the TV Current Affairs programmes to find out what injured service people and/or widows,   widowers of deceased service people think about the compensation system.

You need to get your claim right from the beginning.

MCRS's interpretation of the law and your entitlements i.e. whether you should get paid compensation, is often very different to how we would interpret the law to maximise your benefits.

Often what MCRS tell you is just plain "wrong", as are their decisions on your claims.

Hundreds of our clients have obtained a favourable result through using our services when they had been told by MCRS they were not entitled to anything!
