Our client was a shelf packer for a major supermarket, when she was forced to cease work. An ulcer on her foot led later resulted in amputation of her toe. She had experienced a number of significant complications following the surgery. She found that she was no longer able to work in her previous role or any that she was suited for by way of her education, training or experience.
Our client came to Gerard Malouf and Partners completely unsatisfied with the work undertaken by her previous solicitors. She had paid almost $30,000.00 of her own money up front so that they could submit the claim on her behalf, however, 18 months had passed without our client receiving any meaningful update or developments on her claim. She found that alongside trying to manage her significant symptomatology, she was managing her own legal affairs.

In this case, we were able to take over the case with no hesitation and implement the necessary steps.

TPD stands for Total and Permanent Disability, and is usually attached to life insurance provided by your superannuation fund. It delivers a lump-sum payout if you have a medical diagnosis indicating that your life has been irrevocably changed and you will most likely never be able to work again.

There are various ways that you may be entitled to disability benefits, including through:
However, you may not know how much you are eligible to receive and what criteria you must meet. Check the wording of your policies closely and contact a personal disability claims lawyer for information if you want further clarification.
In general, a TPD insurance claim takes around six months for the insurance company to assess. However, it can take longer if there is a dispute, or it can be wrapped up in a shorter time frame if your claim is extremely clear and you have the right superannuation disability attorneys on your side.
Be aware that once the insurance company has made its decision in regard to your TPD claim, the trustee of the superannuation fund will need to follow up with their own separate assessment of the claim. This can add an extra month or two to the process.
