Illnesses That May Qualify for a Claim

Broad Criteria

Terminal illness claims in superannuation are not limited to specific diseases. Eligibility extends to any medical condition expected to result in death within 24 months.

Common Examples

While a wide range of illnesses can qualify, common conditions include:

• Advanced cancer.

• Motor neuron disease (MND).

• Progressive neurological disorders, such as advanced multiple sclerosis.

Individual Assessment

Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account:

• The individual’s unique medical circumstances.

• Detailed prognosis provided by medical practitioners.

Essential Factors in Determining Eligibility

Requirement for Medical Certification

Independent certification is mandatory, requiring:

• Two registered medical practitioners, one of whom must be a specialist in the relevant illness.

• Comprehensive documentation confirming the terminal nature of the condition.

Prognosis Variability

Some medical conditions present differing outcomes among individuals. Specific prognosis details and supporting medical evidence are critical in determining eligibility in these claims.

Influence of Medical Advancements

As medical research and treatments evolve, prognoses for certain conditions may change. Staying informed about the latest medical advice is vital when considering a terminal illness claim.
