In an effort to facilitate easy access for claimants particularly the injured workers, the Fund has replaced the old system (UMEHLUKO), and introduced a new one called (COMPEASY).
COMPEASY was launched on 11 October 2019. Because it is a new system which is meant to address fraudulent and invalid claims, it is experiencing few challenges.’
