General Questions
TPD insurance in superannuation provides a lump sum payment if you become totally and permanently disabled and are unable to work again.
Unlike other compassionate grounds for early super release, TPD claims are processed directly through your superannuation fund’s insurance provider, not through the ATO.
To qualify for a TPD claim, you must have a permanent physical or mental medical condition that is likely to prevent you from ever working again in a job you’re qualified for by education, training, or experience (however some policies simply require you not to be able to work at all).
