Hi all,
I've got a question relating to my rights as the insured, while making an income protection claim due to an injury OUTSIDE of work.
I've been referred to a rehabilitation worker after my specialist dealing with my injury ticked a box saying yes to a question asking whether I would benefit from a rehabilitation program.
My symptoms changed before my return to work date and I'm now awaiting surgery. This rehabilitation worker stated she was legally required to be present at all of my appointments to assist in my return to work. Now my situation has changed and a return to work is not on the cards for some time, she's still insisting that she attend all appointments. I do not believe she is legally required to be there. Am I correct?
I asked my insurer and they stated her attendance would be once off to make a return to work plan. She's been once (I wasn't happy but was told I had to allow it) and now demanding to be there again.
I don't like her. She twists my words, gives the insurer incorrect or incomplete information and on the previous appointment, questioned my doctor in a hallway without me being present when he left the room to get something.
What are my rights under Insurance Law here? This woman is stressing me to the point I've considered suicide to escape it all. Please help!
