Terminal Illness Claims with Pre-Existing Conditions

Assessing the Impact of Pre-existing Conditions on Terminal Illness Claims in Superannuation

Understanding how pre-existing conditions affect terminal illness claims in superannuation is vital. Claimsplus Lawyers provides expert guidance to help you navigate this complex area.

Critical Points Regarding Pre-existing Conditions

1. Influence on Claim Assessment

• Superannuation funds and insurers consider pre-existing conditions when assessing terminal illness claims.
• While important, pre-existing conditions are not the sole determining factor for claim approval.

2. Policy Terms and Conditions

• Some insurance policies may include exclusions or limitations for pre-existing conditions.
• Reviewing your superannuation policy helps identify any potential restrictions or requirements.

3. Full Disclosure Requirement

• Disclosing known pre-existing conditions when applying for superannuation insurance is essential.
• Non-disclosure can impact the validity of future claims.

Considerations for Terminal Illness Claims

1. Importance of Medical Documentation

   • Claims focus on your current medical condition, requiring comprehensive medical evidence.

2. Options for Claim Review

   • If denied due to a pre-existing condition, you can request a review or appeal, particularly if errors or inaccuracies are present in the initial assessment.

3. Specialised Advice

   • Consulting with superannuation experts or claims specialists can provide personalised support tailored to your circumstances.
