Have you ever asked yourself why 74% of Centrelink Disability Support Pension applications get declined? Or why lawyers charge very high fees to fill paperwork and lodge that you could have done yourself? Or why does it take 15 years for someone with a disability to get public housing, and most of the time, the offer is inappropriate for their needs?
Or why it costs upwards of 15% -30% to claim insurances such as Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) with others? Our fees are set at an affordable rate, often well below 10% as a no-win no fee, and we have a cap for larger claims.
You see, I was one of those people who lost his job as a teenager because of very bad knees. I was told by the "boss" at a major supermarket "We are not running a charity". A charity! I was left almost homeless at a time of vulnerability and severe pain.
Soon after, one of my beloved family members was diagnosed with MS and lived in inappropriate accommodation for 14 years. As a family, we didn't know where to turn. Advocates hardly understood the financial system and social workers gave us support letters that endorsed a helpless story.
I was hoping and praying for honest help—someone who could actually get in there and change things, not just talk about it.
Fast forward many years, I became known as the go-to-guy Australia wide for financial advice for people with complex health conditions. I completed a Masters in Disability Studies to truly understand how to best support someone and make them feel understood.
For the past decade, I have been working on ways to remove obstacles and inject hope in hopeless situations. ClaimRight is the sum of my dreams. A place where things just get done. It is where the "buck stops". Since we opened our doors in September 2017, helped hundreds of people find and claim life-changing benefits. We processed millions in dollars in claims with little resistance.
We are quickly growing, and so is our team. Not only are the public using the service, but colleagues from the financial services and the legal sector are also referring their clients to us. We are fully insured, highly experienced, and we are fully committed to driving costs down while maintaining efficiency.
But business aside, we are here for you. You won't fall through the cracks with us, I promise you.
And if you doubt it, then I will personally be responsible. And if money is an issue, let me know, and we will find a way to help you. If you hear of someone doing a better job (which will be hard to believe), let me know. I want to reach out to them and learn from them. If you hear someone is doing it for a lower cost, we will beat it. We want you to keep as much of your money in your pocket.
I look forward to welcoming you on board personally.
