Can You File a TPD Claim While Employed? Expert Guidance

At Claimsplus Lawyers, we acknowledge that decisions can indeed be reversed or modified after the issuance of a procedural fairness letter. This letter is designed to allow the affected party to respond to any concerns before a final decision is made. Here’s an overview of how a decision can be altered following a procedural fairness letter:

Review of Your Response

Once the responsible authorities or organisation receives your response to the procedural fairness letter, they will review it meticulously. This review will consider the points you raised, the evidence you presented, and your explanations in response to their concerns.

Fairness in the Decision-Making Process

The reviewing entity will assess whether your response adequately addresses the issues and if the decision-making was fair and unbiased. This includes evaluating if all pertinent factors were considered and if the decision complied with the relevant laws and regulations.

Correction of Initial Errors

Should the reviewing body identify errors in the original decision-making or new information that alters the situation, they may revise the initial decision based on this new understanding.

Reconsideration Based on New Evidence

Your response might include additional evidence or clarifications that were not previously available to the decision-makers. This new information can significantly influence the final outcome, potentially leading to a change in the initial decision.

Adherence to Fairness Principles

If the initial decision is found not to have adhered to required fairness principles or due process, it may be reconsidered or reversed.

Potential for Appeals

If you remain unsatisfied with the outcome even after the procedural fairness process, there may be an opportunity to appeal the decision. An appeal allows for an independent review of your case, which could lead to a reversal of the decision.

Corrective Actions for Unjust Decisions

If the reviewing body determines that the original decision was unjust or procedurally flawed, corrective action may be taken, including reversing or modifying the original decision.
