What is the purpose of TPD insurance?

TPD insurance is a financial assurance. It supports you and your family financially when you become incapacitated and aims to relieve the process you are experiencing. It is a life insurance policy where you can request a lump sum payment when you become incapacitated due to your policy.

First, a superannuation insurance policy should be requested by contacting the superannuation fund. In this way, compliance with the TPD request will be understood.

It must be demonstrated that the individual making the request is unable to continue in any profession. To do this, medical reports from doctors are required. You'll also need a slew of paperwork, including job descriptions, pay stubs, and tax returns. It is recommended to contact TPD lawyers for the complete submission of these and similar documents.

What evidence is needed to support the TPD claim?

Depending on individual policy, TPD compensation may be claimed from the superannuation fund after a serious illness resulting in unable to continue to work.

TPD compensation is not automatically awarded. A request must be made to the insurer explaining the situation and providing the necessary evidence.

What can be done if the TPD claim is denied?

Insurance companies sometimes make wrong or incomplete decisions. The person seeking compensation always has the right to request reconsideration of these decisions.

Therefore, if the request is denied, it does not mean that everything is over. If the response to the request is deemed unfair, a formal complaint can be made to the insurance, superannuation provider, industry tribunal or financial ombudsman.

For this reason, we recommend that you contact compensation lawyers to understand your situation and get support in progress.
