Essential Documentation for Terminal Illness Claims in Superannuation

Preparing accurate documentation is crucial for filing a terminal illness claim in superannuation. Claimsplus Lawyers provides expert guidance with fixed fees and pay-on-success support to ensure you navigate this process smoothly.


Key Documents for a Successful Terminal Illness Claim

1. Medical Certification

  • Two registered medical practitioners, including a specialist, must certify your illness's terminal nature and estimated life expectancy.

2. Claim Forms

  • Superannuation funds require complete claim forms, detailing your personal information, fund membership, and claim specifics.

3. Identity Verification

  • Valid identification documents, such as a driver’s license or passport, are required to verify your identity during the claim process.

Considerations for Effective Document Management

  1. Submit Documents on Time

    • Timely submission of complete documentation ensures a faster claims process. Keep copies of all submitted documents for your records.
  2. Understand Fund-Specific Guidelines

    • Superannuation funds may have unique requirements. Familiarise yourself with your fund’s specific documentation process or seek assistance from their support team.
  3. Ensure Accuracy and Completeness

    • Double-check forms for accuracy and ensure medical certifications are thorough to avoid delays or issues with your claim.
