A thorough understanding of the TPD claims process is crucial to successfully claiming a lump sum TPD payout. Knowing the ins and outs of permanent disability TPD insurance, the TPD definition, and what it takes to meet the insurance company’s requirements will help determine your outcome.
In Australia, the steps for filing a TPD claim are the same, irrespective of whether you have a physical injury, a severe or terminal illness, or a mental health condition.
Finding your TPD insurance cover is the first step towards successfully claiming a TPD benefit. Many working Australians have permanent disability TPD insurance through a super fund but have no idea where it is or what is covered.
Furthermore, they sometimes have TPD insurance policies with several superannuation funds, making them eligible to make multiple TPD claims. Fortunately, Splatt Lawyers charges nothing for:

When you make a TPD claim, you must meet the definition of TPD outlined in your total and permanent disability insurance terms and conditions. This step is key to having the insurer approve your claim.
There can be a significant difference in TPD policy terms between insurers and insurance policies. However, in Australia, there are generally three primary types of total permanent disability definitions:
It’s free for our insurance claim lawyers to investigate your TPD cover and explain how your terms and conditions impact your chance of a successful TPD payout.
To get a TPD payout, you must prove how your total permanent disability prevents you from doing your job. This step requires compelling medical evidence and reports that address the terms of your TPD definition.
Thankfully, our expert TPD lawyers regularly negotiate with all the leading Australian life insurance companies, and they understand their requirements.
When you claim TPD, you must accurately and thoroughly complete the claim form. This document is the primary information source for the insurance company to complete a claim assessment. Giving accurate and comprehensive information boosts the likelihood of a prompt and successful outcome.
Additionally, you must attach a supporting letter outlining why your claim should be approved. A common reason for delayed and denied TPD claims is:
After you lodge your TPD claim, the insurance company begins the assessment process, which often takes three to six months, sometimes one year. At this stage, the insurer may several requests for additional information, mainly if:
These factors will slow down the progression of your case and decrease the likelihood of receiving a lump sum TPD payout. Therefore, it’s best to proactively contact the insurance company and confirm they have all the required information to decide your case.

You generally don’t pay tax on a TPD payout, depending on what you do after the lump sum payment is deposited into your superannuation account. That’s because a TPD payment is not considered taxable income when it remains in your super fund.
However, withdrawing money from your super fund’s TPD payout amount will likely have tax implications. So, it’s best to consult with a financial advisor to maximise the tax-free component of your TPD payout.
In Australia, a TPD policy generally covers a wide range of medical conditions, including:

In Australia, most TPD insurance cover is through a super fund. As a result, an insurance provider deposits the funds into your superannuation account when you win a superannuation insurance payout. Hence, your balance will increase, (not decrease), when you have a successful TPD claim.
Generally, Centrelink entitlements are not impacted when you get a TPD payout if the funds remain in your super fund account until you reach preservation age. However, if you choose to withdraw money from your TPD compensation, this could impact Centrelink payments.
It’s best to seek expert financial advice before withdrawing from a super fund.
Any ailment or disorder that stops you from working in your regular occupation could make you eligible for a TPD payout, including a mental health condition. A successful claim for a mental illness is more challenging to make, though, since the damage is invisible.
Consequently, to win a TPD benefit, you should consult with an expert total and permanent disability claim lawyer.
