Weighing Options in Superannuation Claims 

When initiating a superannuation claim, the choice between direct lodging with the fund or seeking specialist assistance is pivotal. Understanding the nuances of each approach is crucial for a successful claim.

Direct Claims: Pros and Cons

  • Direct Approach: Lodging a claim directly with your superannuation fund may appear more direct, involving no intermediaries.
  • No Additional Fees: Handling the claim yourself eliminates any costs associated with professional services.
  • Complexities and Challenges: Superannuation claims can be complex and daunting. Navigating them without specialised knowledge could lead to overlooked details or misinterpretations, risking claim rejection.
  • Risk of Delays: Errors in self-managed applications can cause delays or denials, prolonging the process.
  • Emotional Burden: Managing a claim amidst personal hardship can be stressful and overwhelming.
