Jamair,
That's ridiculous! If you had a major injury causing permanent loss of licence you would either:
A) get a generous compensation payout from WorkCover or
B) be able to claim your MBF benefit.
Creampuff,
Yes of course it's a Rule change. That's the point, it's a Rule change to make it clearer. Statutory Authority always included Workcover as MBF does not double up on statutory authority entitlements. BUT if the statutory authority payment stops and the condition preventing meeting the Class 1 standards continues or is permanent the MBF cover continues.
