FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS IN RELATION TO TOTAL AND PERMANENT DISABILITY CLAIMS
AM I ELIGIBLE TO MAKE A TPD CLAIM?
To make a TPD claim you will usually need to meet the following requirements:
- Unable to work due to injury or illness
- Had paid employment previously
- Have a superannuation account with TPD insurance attached or a private insurance policy with such insurance
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY TPD PAYOUT?
TPD insurers vary on the time that it takes to release funds to a policy holder. The time usually ranges from 3 to 12 months, depending on what issues arise during the claim.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST ME FOR MY TPD CLAIM?
We act strictly on a no win no fee basis and so we will not charge any fees or outlays if you are not successful in obtaining a TPD payout.
HOW MUCH MONEY WILL I RECEIVE IN MY TPD CLAIM?
The amount of your TPD payout will depend entirely on the amount of insurance you do have. You can find this insurance amount by searching on your TPD superannuation statement or call your superannuation fund company. We can assist you in getting this information.
WHAT IF I HAVE MORE THAN ONE SUPERANNUATION POLICY THAT HAS TPD INSURANCE?
It is often the case that individuals do have more than one superannuation policy. In these circumstances, it is possible to have multiple TPD insurances. If you fulfill the criteria for TPD, then you are entitled to access all of these funds. We can take steps to ascertain what superannuation funds you do have.
IS A TPD PAYOUT TAXABLE?
If you have TPD outside of superannuation, any benefit is generally not considered taxable. However, if the TPD insurance is within a super fund than you are usually required to pay tax. However, this is a complicated area of law and expert advice is necessary.
