Preservation Age in Terminal Illness Claims

Understanding the Role of Preservation Age in Terminal Illness Claims

In superannuation, the concept of preservation age is crucial but does not limit terminal illness claims. Claimsplus Lawyers provides expert guidance with a pay-on-success model, ensuring accessible legal support.

Essential Insights into Preservation Age and Terminal Illness Claims

1. No Age Limit for Access

• Terminal illness claims allow immediate access to superannuation benefits, regardless of whether you have reached preservation age.
• Eligibility is solely based on medical diagnosis and life expectancy.

2. Immediate Access to Funds

• Meeting the medical criteria for a terminal illness claim provides immediate access to your superannuation funds, regardless of age.

Key Considerations for Terminal Illness Claims

1. Critical Medical Certification

   • Claims require certification from two registered medical practitioners, including a specialist, to confirm the terminal nature of your condition.

2. Distinct from Retirement Claims

   • Terminal illness claims differ from standard retirement withdrawals, often tied to age-related criteria.

3. Fund-Specific Requirements

   • While preservation age is irrelevant, each superannuation fund may have unique documentation and processing guidelines. Familiarising yourself with these can streamline your claim.
