Whether, with reference to a Compensation Fund claim by a certain person (name and details furnished), (a) the specified claim has been processed and (b) compensation has been paid to the specified person; if not, why not in each case; if so, what are the relevant details of the compensation paid to the person?

Reply:

The claim has been processed and a total temporary disablement (TTD) of 75% amounting to R69 278.91 has been approved and authorised for payment. The Compensation Fund is busy capturing the permanent disablement (PD) pension of 60% which he will receive for the rest of his life. The client’s pension will be paid in arrears from the date of stabilisation.

In addition the Compensation Fund has accepted liability meaning all medical costs associated to this claim will be borne by the Fund.
