A former security branch officer who was forced into retirement after suffering post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD has been given another chance to fight for better disability compensation.
The officer will have to plead his case before a newly constituted tribunal in a bid to secure full 100 compensation instead of the 20 partial compensation he received for leaving the force.
This comes after the Western Cape High Court set aside a decision by the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act COIDA tribunal based on an incorrect assessment of Hendrick Wallace Roelofses medical condition.
