It can be really beneficial to write down here what is happening to you.
I know many times I've had a big whinge aboutWorkCover on here. IIt's therapeutic.
I'm happy to listen - if you're happy to share.

Hi @Puzzle
Welcome to the forum. Workcover is not taboo here.
I am on workcover and have been for about 5 months now. I went on work cover becasue of numerous incidents in my work place, with then lead to past traumas arising.
I find it a difficult road to travel and find I have to keep "proving that I have a MI"
I am happy to talk to you about my case or help you with yours. If you want to tag me just place a @ before my name, so @Former-Member

Do you have a psycholigist or counselor you see, who can then writs to WorkCover confirming your stress, anxiety, MI etc? Also your family gp can also do that.
Another thing is to contact your union. Seek advice from them. They will also be able to tell you which legal firm represents that union.
This year I had to use the lawyers to fight WorkCover on my behalf. And we won. But it was a 6 month fight and it does take it out of you and make your MI worse.
