Quick Answer

What is a TPD Claim?

A Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim allows you to access a lump‑sum insurance payment when a permanent illness or injury means you can’t return to work in your usual role — or in any suitable role, depending on your policy.
TPD cover is often included in your superannuation, and many people also hold retail TPD policies purchased directly from an insurer.

We submit your claim, handle all insurer queries, and manage ongoing communication to prevent delays.

Why You Need Expert TPD Support

Q. Can I claim TPD if I resign?

Yes. You do not need to be fired. If you resigned due to medical reasons, you are still eligible to claim TPD through your superannuation fund.

Q. Does a TPD payout affect my Centrelink payments?

TPD is an insurance payout, not income. However, large sums can affect Centrelink assets tests. We recommend obtaining independent financial advice before your payout is processed.

Q. Can I make multiple TPD claims?

Yes. If you have multiple Superannuation funds with active TPD cover, you may be able to lodge a separate claim with each fund.
