Workplace injury horrible rehab Comcare invalidity - can anyone help please?

I have a psychological claim with Comcare that has been going on for years. I want to get away from them and out of the system, but they (and my awful employer) keep hounding me and sending me for multiple psychiatric exams and IMEs. They will not find me a job, will not give me a redundancy and will not put me forward for medical invalidity. I am just kept in constant limbo. The rehab consultants ignore all the medical advice and have not been able to find me a job. I have found the rehabilitation consultants to be the most useless nastiest pieces of work. They act like policemen telling me everyday to call up friends and beg for a job. They told me to do charity begging work even though I have poor social skills and anxiety. I am unable to approach people and beg for money. After 10 years of this ongoing crap, I am very unwell and don't know what to do anymore. Comcare said if I try to challenge anything or don't do what they say, they can go back and raise a debt against me for 10 years of payments (hundreds of thousands of dollars) so I am in a nightmare with no way out. Has anyone been through this? Can anyone offer advice or assistance as I need help. My anxiety is extreme and my doctor has prescribed sleeping pills to help me sleep as I lie away all night worrying. I am likely to end up jobless, cut off all benefits, and homeless, and the thought just makes me cry.

As everyone has stated, Comcare are inept and the Departments seem to sit on their hands about it too.

 

How did anyone go in relation to the Royal Commission, as I am looking into a Class Action as we speak, not sure if it will get anywhere.

 

Also, genuine question, what is the point of these forums if it wont allow any contact between posters? I would have thought that this would be paramount on getting help. Like-minded people talking about a way forward, through the clouds of pain, incompetence, neglect and bullying. Does anyone know of any other forum where people can connect?

I understand the privacy issues as someone has posted, but if that was the case, why are you required to input all these details about yourself? Just a thought.
