Can I Make a Superannuation Insurance Claim?

If the following applies to you, you could seek compensation:

  • When you were working, your employer paid compulsory superannuation into your account.
  • You have been unable to work for a minimum of three months due to a medical condition, accident, or mental illness.
  • You have insurance coverage for death benefits, income protection, or disability insurance (TPD).

Claiming compensation from an insurance company can be complex and challenging, but wothwhile. That’s because lump-sum payouts can be substantial, with an average figure of $500,000. Remember that these funds are not taken from a superannuation account when you make a successful claim. Instead, the funds come from an insurance policy.

How Does Superannuation Insurance Work?

Superannuation is a compulsory Australian government retirement savings scheme intended to assist everyday workers with retirement planning. Consequently, your employer must contribute to a superannuation fund on your behalf. In addition, workers can choose to make additional contributions to their superannuation accounts.

As a super fund member, you typically have various insurance policies included for disability, illness, and death to provide financial assistance when you can’t work.

If you are like most other working Aussies, you will have multiple insurance superannuation policies that protect you during unforeseen events. Depending on your coverage, you could make a:

Some Australians have contributed to several super accounts and can make multiple claims with a significant payout.

When you are incapable of doing your usual job anymore because you are either physically or mentally injured or ill, you could be eligible to claim your insurance benefits. How you acquired your medical condition does not matter. Other Australians have had successful insurance payouts for:

  • Workplace injuries
  • Car accident injuries
  • Psychological illness or injury
  • Heart attack, cancer and other serious illness
  • Occupationally acquired disease
  • Debilitating illnesses like MS, motor neurone disease and others

Insurance Claim Disputes

There are several reasons why insurance compensation deny claims, including:

  1. Failure to satisfy non-disclosure and exclusion clauses
  2. Fraudulent claims (the insurer must provide compelling evidence of fraud)
  3. Not meeting policy definitions and terms and conditions

NOTE: Not all exclusion clauses are valid; insurance lawyers can help determine if the insurer rejects a valid claim.

If you have a rejected insurance claim, experienced compensation lawyers can help you reverse the insurer’s decision. Typically, the insurance company will issue a pro forma letter in this circumstance, allowing you to start the dispute resolution process.

Our insurance litigation lawyers aim to resolve disputes quickly, sparing our clients the trouble, expense, and risk of going to court.

Regardless of how you acquired your sickness, injury, or mental health problem, you may still make a claim. People who get NDIS funds or a disability pension could already have a case. You may also have a valid claim if you:

  1. Receive workers’ compensation payments
  2. Have a motor vehicle accident claim
  3. Or suffer from a severe medical condition that stops you from working

When you have an accepted disability insurance claim, your benefits could be paid in several ways, depending on your insurance. These include:

  • A recurring monthly payment
  • A lump-sum payout is paid into your Superannuation account
  • A lump-sum terminal illness payout

What is my TPD Payout worth?

When you have a successful disability insurance settlement, the funds are not taken from a superannuation account. You can rest assured that your payout won’t impact your current super balance. Relax knowing that compensation is taken from an insurance policy contained within your superannuation.

How Do I Make a Successful Insurance Claim?

Each superannuation insurance policy has specific terms and conditions. To have a successful claim, you must demonstrate the following:

  • Your illness or injury has stopped you from working for at least 3 or 6 months.
  • Your medical condition needs to be permanent.
  • You are not qualified for any jobs based on your education, experience, or training.
  • That your disability or sickness is the cause of your inability to work.

If you cannot work anymore due to your physical or mental health condition, you might be able to claim

  • recurring monthly income payment
  • a lump sum payout
  • a terminal illness/critical illness lump sum payment

If you have an insurance claim rejection, you can take steps to appeal the decision. First, you must seek legal advice about how to proceed by contacting our specialist superannuation lawyers. They will guide you through the process and explain your legal options.

Time limits apply to denied claims. It would be best if you had a chat with one of our lawyers at your earliest opportunity. Our lawyers have considerable expertise in dealing with insurers, and we know the ins and outs of the superannuation industry.

You may be entitled to claim your superannuation insurance benefits if you cannot continue working due to a physical injury, illness, psychological disorder or other health concerns. Additionally, your illness or injury need not necessarily be the result of your work.

The General Insurance Code of Practice, which includes provisions for managing claims, is binding on Australian insurers. Despite this, there are no legislative time frames for making a decision on a superannuation insurance claim. In Australia, these types of cases generally settle within a period of several months to 18 months.

Your policy conditions will outline the time limit for lodging your super insurance claim. In general, you must submit your case as soon as possible after you stop working due to your illness or disability. However, in most cases, you can submit a claim years after you stop working.

Be aware that there are strict time limits for disputing a rejected insurance claim. In this situation, you must seek legal advice immediately.

Waiting periods can apply before you lodge a claim with your superannuation provider. The time frame for filing super insurance claims may differ depending on the types of insurance and the nature of your injury or illness. If you believe you have a case, please enquire immediately. Taking early action will improve your legal outcome.
