Introduction
Statistics show that more than 7.5% of the South African population is
living with a permanent disability. Many of the people living with these
disabilities have been undercompensated by the relevant schemes and
funds since the medical professionals dealing with their assessments do
not have the training on how to complete these assessments and claims.
This could result in significant financial and reputational costs to the
patient and medical professionals
