When processing an insurance claim within your superannuation fund, people often question whether or not they need a lawyer to process it for them.

Want to know the answer to the most common question we get asked?


The short answer: Usually, no.


Let us dive into this question and explain why your situation will depend on whether you need a lawyer or not. 
What is the definition of TPD?

TPD is a Total and Permanent Disability insurance usually available within your superannuation fund that will provide you with a lump-sum payout if you're sick and/or injured and cannot return to work in your occupation.

From now knowing what the definition is, if you know you have TPD insurance available to you within your super fund, and you fall ill or an injury occurs, impacting your ability to either return to work normally or you're thinking of eventually leaving the workforce due to this, you'll most likely be eligible to make a claim.

How do I make a claim?


We have created a FREE guide that shows a step-by-step process of how to make a Total and Permanent Disability Claim yourself! Find it in our resources page HERE.

Why make access to the NDIS harder than what is already is?

The proposed changes within the NDIS, will see ‘independent assessments’ being conducted by a privatised contractor to assess the client’s eligibility for funding from the scheme.

So, here is the problem:

There is a potential for the assessors to lack the expertise that is needed to understand the complexity of a person’s condition and how it can affect them daily. Manifest conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis often have symptoms that vary daily. How can this be assessed using standardised tools when the condition itself is not standard?


As disability experts and advocates, we stand with other individuals and organisations to fight for the rights of people living with a disability/illness.
The MS Society have recently made a Facebook post expressing their concern over the changes that are going to be put forward by the government. 


I would love to know what everyone else's thoughts are about the proposed changes. If you want to read more about it, here are a few links to head to:
