Document Prep for Terminal Illness Claims

Essential Documentation for Terminal Illness Claims in Superannuation 

Preparing the correct documentation for a terminal illness claim in superannuation is a critical step. Claimsplus Lawyers offers a specialised guide to help you understand and manage these documentation requirements effectively.

Key Documents for a Successful Terminal Illness Claim:

• Medical Certification: Central to your terminal illness claim is the medical evidence. This requires certifications from two registered medical practitioners, including a specialist in your illness area. These certifications should validate the terminal nature of your illness and your estimated life expectancy.
• Filling Out Claim Forms: Each superannuation fund typically has its own claim forms that must be filled out correctly. These generally include personal information, details of your fund membership, and specifics about the claim.
• Verification of Identity: Standard identification documents like a driver's license or passport are usually necessary to verify your identity throughout the claim process.

Considerations for Effective Document Management:

• Timeliness in Submission: Prompt and complete submission of all required documentation can significantly expedite your claim process. Keep copies of all submitted documents for your own record.
• Adhering to Fund-Specific Guidelines: Each super fund might have distinct documentation requirements. It is essential to be familiar with your specific fund's processes or to seek guidance from their customer support.
• Thoroughness and Accuracy: Completing all forms accurately and ensuring comprehensive medical certifications are key to avoiding delays or complications in the claim process.
