Previously, they had to prove their emotional disabilities were linked to abnormal working conditions. Now, if diagnosed by a mental health professional due to a traumatic job-related event, they are entitled to benefits without that extra burden. While there are still limitations on the duration of these benefits, this change is a significant advancement for those affected.
