I don’t know what to do anymore Surrender as it’s medically impossible for me to keep fighting my work cover insurer have just denied my admission stating they approved it but made a mistake . Mistake was made 8 weeks ago by the insurer Mistake for approval to a psych hospital ? Mistake that’s the best they can do ! It worked they have really pushed rejected denied me of my life now ?! No medical support no doctors then no medications I guess it’s going to be the end for me as it’s been 22 years of abuse from my agent they will not stop the abuse. I feel weak as I have attempted two other times now and I am so gone and unwell . Is it weak to surrender ? I feel weak I failed twice I’m embarrassed when I call them I feel like they are laughing at me ?. I think I’m still in shock and psychosis of two years now.
This was not part of my future my dreams the way it is going to end.

Hi Sherlock
The anguish in your words is palpable; I am so sorry that you are having such a difficult time with your work cover claim.
I have some experience managing work cover claims for an employer and understand how difficult this process can be for claimants. I’m really sorry that you have to go through this.
I have never heard of an insurer approving a claim one day and then saying they made a mistake and denying the claim. I don’t know how it’s possible when they have already accepted legal liability, but acknowledge that I’m not a work cover expert or a lawyer.
If you haven’t yet consulted a lawyer I would suggest you do so before giving up. Many lawyers take work cover claim cases on a “no win no fee” basis and the first appointment is free.
Having said that, I know you are feeling weak which means your top priority must be your health. Only reach out for legal advice if you think you can handle it or when you can handle it.
Please look after your health. Follow the advice of your treating practitioners. Call the Beyond Blue support line on 1300 22 4636 if you need someone to talk to. If you feel things are getting out of control and you’re in danger, please call 000.
Please also know that I don't believe anyone at the insurer’s office is laughing at you. The people working there are just that—people. And they are just doing their jobs in a complex and cold system, it’s not personal.
Kind thoughts to you

I recently spent 7 weeks in a facility for my mental health illness work place injury . It’s been 22 years of Hell Abuse Deny Reject Fake False Treatment. I have discovered that the whole system is full of corruption, assessor’s making medical decisions judgments being paid $ 9009. Dollars to write a 7 minute report to reject deny further treatment and admission. A Medical Practitioner told me and after all these years of begging for treatment help, I am ashamed embarrassed I can not live with the knowledge of knowing I never had any hope whatsoever of recovering. The devastating impact my struggle to want to live to keep going my fight for medical treatment and it’s all been a waste of pain hurt disbelief I don’t want to go on living. I have been fighting for medical treatment for nothing begging crying what a horrible experience to finally discover I have been fighting a corrupt government system and all related to Work Cover is a Scam Lies Cheats Fraudsters Fake People Assisting in Murder . Assisting Mentally Unwell Injured workers to SUICIDE. That’s our Work Safe Care System . Brutal Broken Murdering System and No One Can Do Anything About It.
im a dead girl walking now I surrender.
God Bless

Hi Karen,
Thanks for trusting this platform and sharing this with us.
I can feel your sadness, anger, and heartbreak. While I can’t imagine the pain and frustration you’ve endured over the years, it is devastating to hear how the system has treated you and the struggles you've faced. Please remember that your life is far more valuable than any system or process, and you absolutely deserve support, care, and a voice in your journey.
You don't have to go through this alone, even when it feels like everything is crashing down. There are people and resources available to help, and you don’t have to carry this burden by yourself. I really hope you reach out to someone, whether it's a support group, or a friend, or this platform, who can help guide you through this darkness. Please hold on to the possibility of finding a way through.
Karen, I am deeply concerned for you, you matter more than you realize.
Warm regards🤗

Hi Sherlocks
I’m so sorry to learn of your continual struggles against the WorkCover system. You are understandably dealing with some strong emotions relating to injustice and are exhausted.
I also know that it’s not a fair system and neither is your outcome, and I’m sorry that you have to deal with that.
I do want to gently remind you that your self worth is not tied to the outcome of your claim.
You have shown great courage, grit and tenacity fighting this claim and that is who you are—a person with integrity, determination, strength and resilience.
Rest but never forget who you are. You matter.
Please post any time and I encourage you to reach out for professional help—Sophie had some great suggestions.
