Common confusion points

Not knowing when to claim: If you are still working but have limitations, this form applies; if you stopped working entirely, check for a different benefit application path.
What proof of impairment?
: Do not just list symptoms; attach documentation detailing the *functional loss* (e.g.
cannot lift more than 5kg
).
Submitting to your employer vs. WorkSafe Victoria: While your employer needs it, the official submission is usually to WorkSafe Victoria.
