I had a terrible accident at home in 2019 and have been unable to work for 18 months now. I have developed a rare condition called Corneal Neuralgia (chronic and intense burning in the eyes and light sensitivity), which is very poorly understood and not widely recognised (although I do have specialists reports)
I was initially just going to apply for income protection through my super fund (hoping to have it back dated if possible), but as it now tragically looks like I won't be getting much better, I am thinking to apply for TPD as well.
In the case of having a little-known condition like mine, would I have much chance of success if applying for income protection/TPD on my own? Or do you think I should find a lawyer straight up to give me the best chance of success?
Thank you so much
