Superannuation & TPD claims

Your superannuation may include valuable insurance benefits that can provide financial support if you are unable to work due to injury or illness. Many people are unaware of their entitlements or find the claims process confusing and overwhelming.

At PRD Compensation, we help Victorians access the benefits they are entitled to through their superannuation, including Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claims and income protection benefits.

Understanding superannuation insurance

Most superannuation funds include insurance policies designed to support members during serious health events. These benefits can provide crucial financial relief when you cannot return to work.

Common superannuation insurance claims include:

  • Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claims
  • Income Protection claims
  • Terminal Illness benefits
  • Death benefits for dependants

Even if your injury or illness did not occur at work, you may still be eligible to make a claim.

What is a TPD claim?

A Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim is designed to provide a lump sum payment if you are unlikely to return to work due to illness or injury.

You may qualify if you are unable to work in:

  • Your usual occupation, or
  • Any occupation suited to your education, training, or experience

Every superannuation policy has different definitions and requirements. Our lawyers can assess your eligibility and guide you through the process.

What compensation can include

Successful superannuation and TPD claims can provide essential financial security during difficult times.

Benefits may include:

  • Lump sum TPD payments
  • Ongoing income protection payments
  • Payment of outstanding superannuation contributions
  • Financial support for ongoing care and living expenses

Our goal is to help you access the full benefits available under your policy.
