If a terminal or critical illness has stopped you from working, a TPD (total and permanent disability) lump sum can provide much needed financial relief.
We’ve helped many people with critical illnesses make successful TPD claims, but we understand your situation is unique, and you’re different from every one of them. Getting you all of your entitlements starts with building a personal relationship with you, to truly understand your situation.
There’s no cost to speak to a TPD claim lawyer, tell your side of the story, and find out how much you can claim.
We understand that when you’re faced with a critical or terminal illness, financial stress is the last thing you want to deal with. And we’re here to help.
A successful TPD claim needs to be backed by watertight proof that your illness meets the criteria in your policy. Our disability lawyers have made thousands of successful claims on behalf of our clients, and we have a network of hand-picked medico-legal specialists who work with us to build successful cases.
We’ll prepare your claim thoroughly and get your lump sum for you in the shortest possible timeframe.
Any illness that prevents you from returning to work could qualify for a TPD claim. Here are some examples of illnesses that could prevent you from working:
There’s no defined “list” of terminal illnesses and critical illnesses that are covered by TPD policies — but if you’ve developed an illness that has stopped you from returning to work, then it’s likely you’re covered under most TPD policy definitions.

Generally speaking, it takes 6-12 months for a TPD claim to be finalised.
Insurance companies generally assess TPD claims within six months. However, some critical illness claims can be finalised sooner. It’s only with more complicated claims that insurance companies tend to take longer than six months to make a decision.
Once the insurance company has made their decision on a TPD claim, the trustee of the superannuation fund must make their own separate assessment of the claim. This process usually takes between one and two months.
You can rest assured our critical and terminal illness lawyers will get your claim approved in the shortest possible time frame.
Some common reasons for insurers rejecting TPD insurance claims include:
If your TPD claim has been rejected, we can try to get the insurer’s decision reversed. For example, if your TPD claim was rejected because it was lodged too late, there might be circumstances beyond your control that caused the delay. Speak to one of our critical/ terminal illness lawyers to find out your options and whether we can get the insurer to reverse its decision.
