Terminal Illness Claim Guide

Navigating the Role of Insurance in Terminal Illness Claims within Superannuation 

Understanding how insurance integrates with terminal illness claims in superannuation is crucial for effective financial planning. Claimsplus Lawyers offers a comprehensive guide to provide insights into this important aspect.

Crucial Insights into Insurance and Terminal Illness Claims:

• Key Role of Insurance: In many superannuation schemes, terminal illness benefits are tied to the life insurance coverage included within the fund. The insurance part is fundamental in defining both the scope of benefits and the eligibility requirements.
• Influence on Claimable Amount: The level of insurance coverage within your superannuation can significantly dictate the amount accessible through a terminal illness claim. This amount can vary, reflecting the policy details and any additional insurance options chosen.
• Maintenance of Premiums: For continued eligibility for terminal illness benefits, it’s vital to ensure that the insurance premiums deducted from your super account are regularly paid and up-to-date.

Important Aspects to Consider:

• Understanding Your Policy: Insurance policies within super funds can have differing definitions and criteria for "terminal illness." Familiarity with the details of your specific policy is essential.
• Claim Assessment Process: While super funds generally manage the claim submission process, the assessment and approval typically lie with the insurance provider based on their criteria and the medical documentation submitted.
• Awareness of Exclusions: Some insurance policies might incorporate exclusions or waiting periods that could affect eligibility for a terminal illness claim. Understanding these details is crucial for informed planning.
