Maximising TPD Claims

Key Evidence for a Successful TPD Claim

When filing a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim, the quality and comprehensiveness of your evidence are pivotal. This evidence must convincingly demonstrate that you meet the definitions and criteria for TPD as outlined in your policy. This article aims to elucidate the types of evidence essential for a TPD claim.

Types of Evidence Required for TPD Claims

The specific evidence needed for your TPD claim can vary based on your insurance policy, work history, and the nature of your disability. Generally, the following types of evidence are crucial:

1. Medical Evidence: Critical reports from treating doctors and specialists, detailing your diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and work capacity. Insurers may also request independent medical evaluations.
2. Employment Evidence: Information about your work history and recent job duties, often through employer statements. This helps assess your ability to return to your prior job or any suitable employment.
3. Financial Documents: Documents such as tax returns and payslips to substantiate your employment and earnings history.
4. Personal Statement: Your own account describing the impact of your illness or injury on daily life, work capabilities, and future employment opportunities.

The evidence you provide is the cornerstone of your TPD claim. Comprehensive and convincing evidence significantly bolsters your claim's likelihood of success. Nonetheless, collecting and organising this evidence can be intricate and demanding.
