| Subject: Great: 'Injured' OZschwitz public servant loses case Mon Jan 21, 2013 7:54 pm | |
| A former Canberra public servant found guilty of defrauding the Defence Department has lost her workers' compensation case against the Commonwealth.
Kylie Catterick was claiming compensation for domestic help and medical expenses for injuries and ''psychogenic pain'' she claimed to have sustained on the job in 2007.
The compensation case came despite Catterick pleading guilty to using her Defence travel card to improperly obtain money from her employer during several weeks in late 2006.
The former Defence Materiel Organisation worker had been receiving compensation payments since she hurt her neck in March 2007 while picking up a case full of official papers after a military flight from Victoria to Canberra. Advertisement
In September that year, a claim for ''adjustment reaction with mixed emotional features'' was approved and another one for ''psychogenic pain'' was accepted in June 2010, both conditions found to be related to the original neck and thoracic sprains.
