Help CentreTPD Claim Eligibility with Claimsplus Lawyers
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance provides a crucial safety net for individuals who can no longer work due to a serious illness or injury. A successful claim can offer a lump sum payment to help with medical expenses, lifestyle adjustments, debt repayment, and ongoing financial support for dependents.
Eligibility Criteria for a TPD Claim
Understanding your eligibility is essential before lodging a TPD claim through your superannuation. Below are the key requirements:
1. Confirming TPD Insurance Coverage
-
Most superannuation policies include TPD insurance, but coverage varies.
-
Check your super policy or contact your fund to verify if you have TPD insurance.
2. Meeting the TPD Definition
-
Definitions of TPD differ across policies but typically require that you be unable to work in your current profession or any job suited to your skills and qualifications.
-
Some policies require medical evidence that you are unlikely to return to work permanently.
3. Satisfying the Waiting Period
-
Many TPD policies have a mandatory waiting period, usually between 3 to 6 months, before a claim can be lodged.
-
During this time, you should be under ongoing medical care and provide evidence of your condition.
4. Age Limits for TPD Claims
-
Most superannuation funds set an upper age limit for TPD claims, typically around 65 years.
5. Work History Requirements
-
Some policies require a minimum period of employment or a set number of working hours per week before the onset of your illness or injury.
6. Policy-Specific Conditions
-
Every TPD insurance policy has unique terms and conditions.
-
Additional requirements may apply depending on your super fund’s policy.
If you are unsure whether you meet these criteria, seeking professional advice from a TPD claims specialist can help clarify your eligibility.
