Many Australians have TPD and income protection insurance in their super without knowing it, sometimes across several funds. Lawyers identify policies, prepare the claim and challenge rejections through the fund, AFCA or court.
Many Australians don't know they have TPD or income protection cover in their super, sometimes across several funds, worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Insurance in super is regulated under superannuation and insurance law, with disputes going to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. Definitions of total and permanent disability vary between policies.
Understand the next step
Identify every relevant fund or policy and the period when cover may have applied. The policy terms, work history and evidence requested by the insurer are central to the assessment.
Ask about each possible policy separately rather than assuming all funds use the same test.
Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Taree, Forster and Kempsey are separate centres within this search area. Start with the legal issue, then compare the office location and the practicalities of ongoing contact.
For tpd & superannuation claims, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant NSW experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Mid North Coast. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
Provide a chronology, relevant locations and employer or insurer details, together with forms and decisions already received.
Discuss medical, employment, incident and expense records. Ask who will obtain reports and how access, privacy and expert costs will be managed.
Have any offer, assessment or release explained before agreeing. Clarify what a resolution would cover and whether related claims need separate advice.
Ask for the written meaning of no win, no fee, including expenses, any uplift and possible other costs. The phrase alone is not enough to compare arrangements.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Ask early about notice, claim and review limits in the relevant scheme. Keep the incident date and every insurer decision available for assessment.
