If you have been away from work for a period of time owing to an injury or illness, and you do not have the capacity to work again in your prior occupation or in a position to which you are suited by reason of your education, training or experience, you may be eligible to make a TPD claim through your superannuation fund.
Different TPD policies may have different definitions of “Total and Permanent Disablement”, and it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Various issues can arise with a TPD claim and we can provide advice and assistance including:
- Completing the claim form on your behalf
- Prepare detailed medical and legal submissions in support of your claim
- Lodge a complaint claim with the Fund
- Vigorously pursue the Fund for a determination
- Keep you advised of significant developments as the claim proceeds
