frequently asked questions

A TPD (Total and Permanent Disability) claim is made through your super fund or insurance provider when you’re unable to return to work due to illness or injury.

No — TPD claims are not fault-based. You just need to show that you’re permanently unable to work in your usual occupation or any job suited to your education, training, and experience.

Most claims take between 2–6 months, depending on your super fund, the medical evidence, and whether further assessments are needed.

You may still have options. We can review your claim decision, identify why it was denied, and help you appeal or resubmit with stronger supporting evidence.

In most cases, no. TPD and insurance claims are handled directly with the fund or insurer and are often resolved without litigation.

How Can TPD Claims Lawyers Help You?

If you’re unable to work due to injury or illness, our experienced legal team can help you claim the insurance benefits you’re entitled to — including TPD, income protection, and death benefit payouts.

Total Permanent Disability (TPD) Claims

If you are permanently unable to work due to injury or illness, you may be entitled to a lump sum payout through a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance claim attached to your superannuation. TPD benefits are designed to provide financial support when you’re no longer able to perform work within your education, training, or experience.

One of the key advantages of TPD claims is that they are not fault-based. You do not need to prove that your injury or illness was caused by another person, or that it occurred at work. The only requirement is that your condition prevents you from returning to any job that fits your previous skills and qualifications on a permanent basis.

Many different conditions may qualify for a TPD claim. These include:

  • Physical injuries such as spinal damage, severe chronic pain, or loss of limb function
  • Chronic illnesses like cancer, stroke, or heart disease
  • Mental health conditions including anxiety, PTSD, depression, or bipolar disorder

At TPD Claims Lawyers, our legal team will:

  • Review your superannuation and insurance policy to confirm eligibility
  • Assist in gathering medical reports and supporting evidence
  • Prepare and lodge a comprehensive claim submission on your behalf
  • Communicate directly with the insurer or super fund throughout the process
  • Help appeal denied claims or resolve claim delays

We understand this process can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re already dealing with the effects of an illness or injury. That’s why we manage your claim from start to finish and operate on a No Win, No Fee basis.

If you believe you may be eligible for a TPD claim, contact our team today for a free claim review.

Following the death of a loved one, accessing life insurance payouts or superannuation death benefits can be complex, especially while you’re grieving. Our team of experienced lawyers is here to provide support and guidance during this difficult time, ensuring you receive your full entitlement without unnecessary delay.

Death benefits are typically paid to the spouse, child, or dependant of a deceased superannuation fund member. These benefits may include both the balance of the super account and a separately insured life cover amount. Most Australian super funds provide this insurance by default, although entitlements can vary depending on the policy and the fund rules.

You may be eligible to claim if you are:

  • A spouse or de facto partner of the deceased
  • A biological, adopted, or stepchild
  • A financial dependant or interdependent person
  • A person nominated in the member’s binding death benefit nomination

At TPD Claims Lawyers, we assist with:

  • Identifying eligible beneficiaries
  • Interpreting complex superannuation and life insurance policies
  • Preparing and lodging compliant claims
  • Communicating with super funds and insurers on your behalf
  • Resolving disputes between beneficiaries if necessary

We work with compassion and discretion, ensuring your family is supported throughout the process. Our services are offered on a No Win, No Fee basis — so you won’t pay legal fees unless your claim is successful.

If you’re temporarily unable to work due to an injury or illness, you may be eligible for income protection payments through your superannuation or a standalone insurance policy. These payments are designed to provide regular financial support while you recover and aim to replace a portion of your income during this period.

Income protection benefits are often referred to as temporary disability benefits or salary continuance, and typically provide up to 75% of your regular income for a set period — such as 2 years, 5 years, or until a specific age, depending on your policy terms.

Common conditions that may qualify for an income protection claim include:

  • Injuries from accidents, including fractures, soft tissue injuries, or surgery recovery
  • Illnesses such as chronic fatigue, cancer, heart conditions, or autoimmune disorders
  • Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD

At TPD Claims Lawyers, we can help you:

  • Review your income protection policy to understand your entitlements
  • Gather the necessary medical and employment evidence
  • Prepare and lodge your claim with the insurer or super fund
  • Challenge delayed or denied claims
  • Assess whether you’re also eligible for a TPD claim

Many workers are unaware that their superannuation fund may include this type of cover. If you’re unsure whether you have income protection insurance, our team can investigate your entitlements for you.

No Win, No Fee applies to all income protection matters — so you only pay legal fees if your claim is successful.

If you’ve suffered a permanent loss of bodily function due to injury or illness, you may be entitled to a lump sum compensation payment through a permanent impairment claim. This type of claim recognises lasting physical or psychological damage that affects your ability to function as you once did.

A permanent impairment may involve the loss of use, malfunction, or damage to a body part, organ, or internal system. This can include spinal injuries, amputations, significant scarring, neurological conditions, or lasting mental health conditions that impair daily living or work capacity.

To determine eligibility, your condition must be assessed by a qualified medical professional, who will calculate an impairment rating using specialist guidelines. This rating is used to assess the level of your disability and whether it meets the threshold for a payout under your insurer or superannuation policy.

At TPD Claims Lawyers, we assist with:

  • Reviewing your policy to confirm if permanent impairment cover is included
  • Arranging medical assessments to calculate your impairment rating
  • Preparing your claim submission with supporting medical documentation
  • Communicating with insurers and superannuation funds on your behalf
  • Advising whether you may also be eligible for a TPD or income protection claim

Each claim is unique and assessed based on the severity and impact of your condition. We ensure all criteria are met to give your claim the best chance of success.

We act on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning there are no upfront legal costs for pursuing a permanent impairment claim.

Contact our team to find out whether you may qualify for a permanent impairment payout.

If you are diagnosed with a serious illness or suffer a major medical event, you may be entitled to a lump-sum payment under Trauma Insurance (also called Critical Illness cover). These benefits provide immediate financial support while you focus on treatment and recovery.

What conditions are typically covered?

  • Cancer, stroke, or heart attack
  • Neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease
  • Serious injuries including severe burns or loss of independence

Unlike TPD or income protection, Trauma Insurance is triggered by the diagnosis of a defined condition in your policy—not by proving permanent incapacity or time off work.

How TPD Claims Lawyers can help

  • Review your policy to confirm eligibility and definitions
  • Collect medical evidence and specialist reports to support your claim
  • Prepare and lodge your claim with the insurer
  • Manage all communications to reduce stress and delays
  • Challenge rejected claims or resolve delays through appeals and disputes

We understand this process can be daunting during a serious diagnosis. Our team manages your claim from start to finish on a No Win, No Fee basis, so you can focus on your health.

If illness or injury temporarily prevents you from working, you may be entitled to monthly income support under TTD cover (often called temporary incapacity in superannuation or income protection). These benefits help replace lost earnings while you focus on treatment and recovery.

What does TTD typically require?

  • Temporary inability to perform your usual occupation due to sickness or injury
  • Regular care and treatment from a medical practitioner
  • Completion of a policy waiting period (e.g., 30–90 days)
  • Compliance with policy definitions (e.g., own vs any occupation, partial disability)

TTD benefits are usually paid monthly in arrears and are treated as taxable income with PAYG withholding. Partial return-to-work arrangements may be supported, with payments adjusted for reduced hours.

How TPD Claims Lawyers can help

  • Review policy terms to confirm eligibility, waiting periods, and offsets
  • Coordinate medical evidence and functional capacity reports to support incapacity
  • Prepare and lodge your claim with your super fund or insurer
  • Manage all communications and follow-ups to minimise delays
  • Challenge rejected claims or unfair reductions through review or AFCA

We manage the process end-to-end on a No Win, No Fee basis, so you can focus on getting better while we work to secure your benefits.

If your superannuation or insurance claim has been rejected, reduced, or delayed, you can challenge the decision through an internal review or an AFCA complaint. We handle the dispute process so you can focus on your health and finances.

When can you dispute a decision?

  • Incorrect application of policy definitions or exclusions
  • Adverse or biased insurer medical opinions
  • Insufficient reasons, delays, or procedural errors
  • Wrong offsets or underpayments of approved benefits

AFCA (the Australian Financial Complaints Authority) is a free, independent avenue to resolve disputes without going to court. Strict time limits apply, so acting promptly protects your rights.

How TPD Claims Lawyers can help

  • Review decision letters and policy wording for challengeable errors
  • Collect stronger medical, financial, and capacity evidence
  • Prepare internal review submissions and negotiate outcomes
  • Lodge and manage your AFCA complaint from start to resolution
  • Pursue court options where necessary to secure entitlements

We manage the dispute from start to finish on a No Win, No Fee basis, aiming for a fair, timely outcome while reducing stress for you.

If you have more than one superannuation account, you may hold multiple insurance policies that can pay benefits when illness or injury stops you working. We identify all eligible policies, coordinate evidence, and manage each claim to maximise your overall entitlement.

When do multiple claims apply?

  • You hold several super accounts (often from past employers) with insurance cover.
  • Policies were active at the time your illness or injury caused incapacity.
  • Funds have different definitions, waiting periods, or offset rules.
  • One fund’s payment may affect another unless claims are structured carefully.

Coordinating timing, evidence, and offsets is essential to avoid underpayments or disputes between funds.

How TPD Claims Lawyers can help

  • Identify all super accounts and confirm active insurance cover.
  • Review policy terms across funds to plan the best claim strategy.
  • Coordinate consistent medical and capacity evidence for each claim.
  • Prepare and lodge claims with every eligible fund, managing timelines.
  • Calculate offsets and challenge reductions to maximise total benefits.

We handle the process end-to-end on a No Win, No Fee basis, ensuring each fund assesses your claim fairly and pays what you’re owed.
