Can I Make a Superannuation Insurance Claim?

When you work in Australia, your employer will pay compulsory superannuation into your account. If the unexpected happens, your superannuation fund will contain several insurance policies offering financial protection. Consequently, you may access various insurance benefits if you can’t work for some reason. The good news is that your medical condition does not need to be connected to your workplace or occupation to claim your insurance entitlements. In that case, our skilled superannuation claim lawyers will help you seek compensation.

Claiming compensation from your insurance company can be complex and challenging, but it is worth pursuing. Your lump-sum payout can be substantial. An average figure would be $500,000. Remember that your payout is not taken from your superannuation account when you have a successful insurance claim. Instead, the funds come from an insurance policy.

For nearly thirty years, our expert insurance lawyers have helped thousands of Australians access their full entitlements. Contact us now to see how we might assist you. Call 1800 700 125.

How Does Superannuation Insurance Work?

Superannuation is a compulsory Australian government retirement savings scheme intended to assist everyday workers with their retirement planning. Due to the superannuation guarantee, your boss is responsible for contributing to a superannuation fund on your behalf, based on a percentage of your pay. In addition, workers can choose to make additional contributions to their superannuation accounts.

Superannuation is designed to offer Australians a source of income once they retire. Typically, income is received as a one-time payout or pension funds on a regular basis. Superannuation funds have mandatory rules and regulations to safeguard your savings and reduce the risk of fraud and misuse.

If you are like most other working Aussies, you will have at least one superannuation policy. Your super account includes several disability insurance policies that protect you during unforeseen events. Depending on your coverage, you could make a:

Total and Permanent Disability Claim >

Income Protection Claim >

Life Insurance  Claim for Death Benefits or Terminal Illness >

Note: Submitting an insurance claim through your superannuation will not decrease the amount of your retirement savings. When you successfully claim benefits, payment will be made from an insurance policy included with super fund membership.

Do I have a valid claim? >

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.
