A strict definition of total permanent disablement

Bopha fell from a stationary ambulance and suffered an injury which left her unable to work as a paramedic. She had $100,000 cover for total, permanent disablement, but her insurer told her that her injury did not amount to total disablement, and that she was only entitled to $5,000. Could this be right?

Nancy paid $122,000 in premiums over 14 years for her and her 4 family members. Nancy complains to FSCL that her family has been oversold policies by her insurer.
