SINGAPORE - A single mother who sought to access her Central Provident Fund savings on medical grounds may reapply to do so once her doctor has certified that she meets the medical criteria, said the CPF Board on Thursday .

Ms Soo told The Straits Times she was diagnosed with lupus in 2011 and has suffered from photo-sensitivity, and chronic pain and fatigue, making it difficult for her to work. It has since informed Ms Soo that her appeal to withdraw her CPF on medical grounds will be re-assessed once her doctor is able to certify that she meets the medical criteria.

She appealed to her MP and wrote a letter on Nov 15 to President Halimah Yacob to get access to her CPF money. She believes she has close to $100,000 in CPF savings from her work as a legal secretary before she fell ill.
