Yes I have

You need to make sure you fill in the form already quoted, it is usually passed to simpson and Millar ( I have mixed reviews about them) If you are still suffering after 15 weeks you then contact DWP to get a medical ( I was left with a permenant scar and have mental issues) this culminated in 6 per cent disability for life)

Most cases you will find it is done through home insurance and not the folks who have the dog.

Rm always claim lost wages back off you but it is usually not part of compansation and got off the insurance company as expenses.

Keep all reciepts

I got 5K and I am now in the throws of having been bitten again by another dog processing a claim though I have been told that the claim will not be so big, though I still have a scar :d'oh! :arrrghhh

Good luck

One of our lot got bit last week, but came into work the next day. It's quite a nasty bite, the dog drew blood and there's a lot of bruising. WIll he be able to claim compensation, or has he blown it by coming back to work too early?

My first dog bite I did not have time off, and my claim was successful but it did happen on public highway with witness

but I did have 12 weeks of congenitive therapy paid by the third parties insurance,

I think it's like a lot of things bringon,the average rep/member does not know what we on here know.
And by 'we' I mean the helpful clued up members who post on here.
Many reps/members do know and they post on here,but many more don't.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
