Understanding Superannuation Disability Claims

Demystifying Superannuation Disability Claims 

Superannuation disability claims, or Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claims, aren't just financial jargon. For many Australians, they represent a crucial safety net in times of unexpected injuries or illnesses. Unlike income protection insurance, which offers regular payments for a specific period, a TPD claim can provide a substantial lump sum payout if you're unable to work due to a disability.

Eligibility for a TPD Claim 

To qualify for a TPD claim:

  • You must demonstrate that returning to your regular job, or any other role suited to your skills and training, is no longer viable due to your condition.
  • A waiting period, typically around six months as per your policy, must be observed before you can lodge a claim.
  • Your claim must be substantiated by robust medical evidence supporting your disability.
