How to Claim TPD in Victoria
Navigating the TPD claim process can seem daunting, but with the right support, it’s achievable:
- Eligibility Check: First and foremost, determine your eligibility. A TPD claim requires proof that your injury or illness prevents you from returning to work, not just in your current profession but any for which you’re qualified. Begin by thoroughly reviewing your superannuation and insurance policies to understand your coverage and the definitions of TPD they contain.
- Gathering Documentation: Compile all necessary documents, including medical reports, employment history, and any relevant insurance policy documents. This evidence is crucial for substantiating your claim. Our legal team is skilled in evidence collection and has the experience to know what your claim needs to have the best chance at success.
- Submitting Your Claim: Submit your claim through your superannuation fund or directly to the insurance provider. It’s imperative to ensure your application is comprehensive and clearly articulates why you qualify for a TPD payout.
- Assessment and Decision: Following submission, your claim will be assessed by the insurer, a process that can take several months. During this time, Carbone Lawyers can liaise with the insurer on your behalf, addressing any queries and ensuring your claim remains on track.
- Appealing Rejections: If your claim is unjustly rejected, don’t lose hope. Carbone Lawyers specialises in disputing and overturning such decisions, advocating tirelessly for your rightful compensation.
Common Reasons for TPD Claim Rejections
Understanding why TPD claims are rejected can help you navigate potential disappointment. Common reasons include insufficient evidence, failure to meet policy definitions of disability, and procedural errors during the claim process. Carbone Lawyers’ experience, attention to detail, and tailored approach will help you avoid these common pitfalls in your claim.
