BIL and SIL house was inundated in the Brisbane floods in January and were with a big insurance company and were denied because they lived in the wrong state . They had enormous help from family and friends and are only just back in their home. They have followed up with every government department that they could and finally they have had their quotes accepted by the government to be paid. I am so happy for them and I just hope that many of you who are in the same boat have the same outcome.

Good result, I'm so glad that they have had success!! Friends of mine are still on the long road, but fingers crossed they may reach a happy end too.
