Cancer Diaries: When having cancer is still not enough for EPF to approve my claims

Weirdly, EPF is behaving a lot like an insurance firm in how it keeps trying to get me to justify my large medical expenses and hinting that I should try and ask Socso instead for money.
It’s kind of surprising she didn’t try going through SOCSO, especially since it’s meant to help with work-related injuries and health issues. EPF is really more for retirement; not for covering medical costs. If she’s been contributing to SOCSO, she might actually qualify for benefits, maybe even a medical pension, depending on her condition. That’s exactly what SOCSO is there for.

I actually know a few people who went that route and ended up getting medical pensions. Sure, it takes some paperwork and follow-ups, but it’s a legit option that’s really worth looking into.

Now they’re getting both their EPF and monthly medical pension — the best of both worlds.
