The MBF policy and treatment of the existing Rule 6 (c) has always used an important principle: Members who can claim other statutory entitlements should do so before they claim from MBF. This includes the workers compensation schemes (WorkCover) that apply in each state. In the new Rule 6 (c) WorkCover is specifically named, but the principle is the same: MBF will not pay monthly benefits whilst a member is entitled to receive WorkCover payments.
Above is an extract from the email.
My concern is with the "entitled" to receive bit, that doesn't mean you are receiving anything from Workcover if they dispute the issue and hold off any payment as was the case in one situation that I am aware of.
