Superannuation Claims and TPD
Table of Contents
Article Summary
Hidden within your superannuation fund lies a financial safety net that millions of Australians don’t even know exists. A 2013 Sydney Morning Herald article revealed a crucial truth: members of large superannuation funds have access to default death insurance and Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) coverage that could provide essential financial protection when life takes an unexpected turn. While life insurance often takes the spotlight, TPD insurance represents an equally vital resource that could mean the difference between financial ruin and security during your darkest hour.
TPD Claims Information
What we found interesting is that this is one of the few newspaper articles about TPD claims. Almost all of us are entitled to make a claim if we fit the criteria. (If you have been unable to work for 6 months or more due to any medical reason, call us to check.)
Legal Process
The legal process to lodge a claim can be lodged by you but it is best done by lawyers who specialise in TPD. The superannuation fund investigates every claim and employs lawyers to fight the claim. When negotiations take place you want specialised lawyers to make a stand and obtain the best possible outcome.
