Superannuation & Insurance

If you can’t work due to injury or illness, we can help you access your life insurance, superannuation or TPD insurance and income protection benefits.

A serious injury or illness can impact more than your ability to work; it can affect your income, superannuation, and long-term financial security. If your total and permanent disability claim (TPD) has been delayed, declined, or you’re unsure where you stand, expert legal guidance can help you take back control.

At Hall Payne Lawyers, we support Australians with practical, people-first advice that clarifies your options and helps you move forward with confidence.

FAQ

Straightforward answers to common Superannuation & Insurance questions.

What exactly is a TPD claim? 

Think of a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim as a financial safety net. It’s a lump sum payment designed to support you if a serious injury or illness (physical or psychological) prevents you from ever returning to your day to day life. As every insurance policy has different legalities regarding what qualifies, we help you translate those complex definitions into a successful claim.

Most Australians actually have TPD or income protection cover without even realising it, as it is often tucked away inside their superannuation. If you can no longer work due to your health, you likely have a right to claim. We can help you track down your policies and determine exactly what you are entitled to.

When an injury or illness halts your career, it doesn’t just stop your income; it stops your super contributions, too. A TPD claim is specifically designed to bridge that gap. We ensure your claim is structured correctly so that it accounts for your unique medical history and secures the maximum benefit allowed under your policy.

In many cases, yes. These are often separate benefits, and you may be able to access monthly income protection payments while your lump sum TPD claim is being processed. Since the rules for “double dipping” vary between insurers, we review all your funds and policies to ensure you’re not leaving any money on the table.

A rejection is not the end of the road. Insurers often decline claims on technicalities or a lack of medical evidence. We specialise in challenging these decisions. Whether it’s lodging a formal complaint or gathering fresh evidence, we stand by you to turn a ‘no’ into the ‘yes’ you deserve.
