What is a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Claim?

A TPD claim is an insurance benefit available through superannuation funds. It provides a lump sum payment if you cannot return to work due to a permanent disability caused by illness or injury. These benefits are designed to ease financial strain, helping you cover:

• Medical expenses.
• Daily living costs.
• Debt repayments.

• Prove Permanency of Condition: Provide medical evidence confirming the long-term or permanent nature of your disability.
• Meet Policy-Specific Terms: Each superannuation fund has unique requirements, including waiting periods and insurance coverage conditions.
