Key Insights into Insurance and Terminal Illness Claims

1. Insurance’s Role in Terminal Illness Benefits

• In many superannuation funds, terminal illness benefits are linked to the life insurance coverage included within the fund.
• Insurance policies often define the scope of benefits and eligibility requirements for claims.

2. Impact on Claimable Amount

• The amount accessible through a terminal illness claim depends on the level of insurance coverage within your super fund.
• This can vary based on policy details and any additional insurance options you’ve selected.

3. Importance of Premium Maintenance

• To maintain eligibility for terminal illness benefits, ensure your insurance premiums are paid and up-to-date.

Important Considerations

1. Understand Your Insurance Policy

   • Super fund insurance policies can have differing definitions and criteria for "terminal illness." Familiarity with your specific policy is vital.

2. Claim Assessment Process

   • While the super fund handles claim submissions, insurance providers assess and approve claims based on their specific requirements and the medical documentation provided.

3. Watch for Exclusions
