The information we need for an objection about compensation payments includes:
- copies of court documents, any settlement documents and policy documents in relation to the compensation payment
- a breakdown of how the compensation amount was calculated (for example, the portions paid for the loss of earnings and as compensation for pain and suffering) – provide details if the payment cannot be broken down into its individual components
- any other documentation that provides information about the payment.
You should also provide answers to these questions:
- Who is paying the compensation?
- How is the payment being made (for example, weekly, monthly or in a lump sum)?
- What gave rise to the compensation payment (for example, an accident at work or a victim of crime payment)?
- Where the payment is made in a lump sum, will you have any further rights to seek additional compensation following receipt of that payment? Provide details of any further rights.
- Is the payment being paid under an Act? If so, which Act and which section of that Act?
