Surely they need to re-examine these claims now. The court ruling was clear.

Mia Carter2026-06-13T19:55:17.000Z

right, mate. They need to step up.

Zoe King2026-06-13T19:52:17.000Z

yeah nah, they'll drag their feet on this for ages. typical MSD.

Government departments always find a way to avoid paying out. Watch them appeal.

Riley Scott2026-06-13T20:05:17.000Z

not surprising. They've let so many down already.

Mia Carter2026-06-13T20:10:17.000Z

My mate has a claim that was declined. Hoping this ruling means something.

This is important for survivors. They deserve better than this back-and-forth.

Stuff2026-06-13T20:30:17.000Z

keep the pressure on them.

Zoe King2026-06-13T20:55:17.000Z

FFS just do the right thing for once. These are ppl's lives.

Mia Carter2026-06-13T21:00:17.000Z

Exactly. Enough is enough.

Noah Bennett2026-06-13T21:10:17.000Z

I suspect MSD will find a loophole. They always do.
