FAQ’s
Q: What does ClaimRight do?
ClaimRight is a licensed claims administration service that helps Australians lodge and manage insurance claims through their superannuation including TPD, income protection, trauma, and life insurance. We handle the paperwork, gather medical evidence, and deal with insurers on your behalf.
Q: Are you a law firm?
No. We are claims advocates, not lawyers. We are a Corporate Authorised Representative of Able Financial Services (ABN 27 646 319 164, AFSL 530596). We are licensed by ASIC to handle life and disability insurance claims.
Q: How does “No Win, No Fee” work?
If your claim is unsuccessful, you pay nothing. Our fee is a percentage of the successful claim amount, disclosed upfront before you engage us. There are no hidden costs or hourly charges.
Q: Where are you located?
Our office is at Shop 6, 23 Hassall Street, Parramatta NSW 2150. However, we support clients across all of Australia remotely via phone, email, and our secure HearMe platform.
Q: What is a TPD claim?
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) is an insurance benefit held within your superannuation fund. It provides a lump sum payment if you are permanently unable to work due to illness or injury physical or mental.
Q: How do I know if I have TPD insurance?
Most Australians have TPD cover through their super fund without realising it. Check your super fund’s member statement or call them directly. We can also help you locate and confirm your cover during our free assessment.
Q: Can I claim TPD if I resigned from my job?
Yes. You do not need to be terminated. If you stopped working due to medical reasons, you are still eligible to claim through your super fund.
Q: Can I claim from multiple super funds?
Yes. If you have TPD cover across multiple super funds, you may be able to lodge a separate claim with each one.
Q: How long does a TPD claim take?
Typically 3–6 months from lodgement to payout, depending on the insurer and complexity of your condition. Delays are common when evidence is incomplete which is why professional preparation matters.
Q: What is income protection insurance?
Income protection provides regular monthly payments usually up to 75% of your pre-disability income if you cannot work due to illness or injury. It is available through your super or as a standalone retail policy.
