Superannuation & TPD Claims
While a death benefit from superannuation is easy to prove, the same cannot be said for a TPD claim; it all comes down to the wording and the terms and conditions on your superannuation and TPD policy. Your claim involves a scope of your disability, the period during which you are unable to earn an income, or the full amount of income, from an occupation for which you are educated, trained and experienced. These claims can be difficult to navigate, which means you need the assistance of a legal team with the experience in dealing with superannuation and TPD claims following injury.
The claims you are entitled to depend on your coverage and your policy, however you may find coverage including:
- Total and permanent disability (TPD)
- Income protection
- Trauma insurance
- Terminal illness
- Insurance litigation
Am I Eligible to Claim a Benefit Through Superannuation?
You may be entitled to a superannuation claim if:
- You were working and your employer was paying compulsory superannuation, and you suffer an injury or illness that has prevented you from working for 3 consecutive months
- You have entered into a private contract of insurance for income protection or disability insurance.
Even if you are self-employed, you may still be eligible to claim a benefit through your superannuation should you be injured and no longer able to work.
