Using Terminal Illness Claims for Treatment

Addressing Medical Expenses with Terminal Illness Claims in Superannuation 

For many facing a terminal illness, managing the associated medical expenses is a significant concern. Claimsplus Lawyers provides a detailed guide on how you can access your superannuation via a terminal illness claim for medical treatment purposes.

Flexibility and Financial Relief through Terminal Illness Claims:

• Freedom in Fund Utilisation: Upon accessing your superannuation through a terminal illness claim, there are generally no restrictions on how you can use these funds. This flexibility allows you to direct the money towards medical treatments or other urgent financial needs.
• Easing the Burden of Medical Costs: Given the high costs of specialized medical treatments, utilising funds from a terminal illness claim can significantly reduce financial stress, enabling you to concentrate on your health and recovery.

Essential Considerations in Managing Funds:

• Importance of Budgeting: Although the funds from a terminal illness claim can be substantial, it's crucial to budget effectively, taking into account both immediate and future medical expenses.
• Exploring Alternative Financial Support: Before allocating the entire claim towards medical costs, it's worth investigating other available financial support options or resources.
• Understanding Tax Implications: Typically, terminal illness claim funds are tax-exempt. Nonetheless, it's wise to seek advice from a financial advisor or tax specialist for a complete understanding of any tax-related aspects of accessing these funds.
