Income protection if resigned.

Hi all

 

I've been at my employer 15 years and was struggling with keeping up with constantly increasing workload. Eventually I had a breakdown and resigned a few weeks ago with no reason on the resignation. I booked into my doctor who I couldn't see until the next day and he said I'm having mental issues which will need to be addressed and gave me sick leave until notice ends. My employer didn't care and just wanted me to finish up early .

I have income protection on my super and tpd and wondering can I claim income protection from the event date which is when I resigned?

Thanks all

Hi, welcome

 

Sorry, but this is really a compensation solicitor question.

 

Take all your details, dates, doctors visits etc to a solicitor and seek advice. The first visit is often free.

 

I wish you good luck. We are here for any mental health struggle like depression, anxiety and other illnesses and welcome your posts.
