Total and permanent disability claims are an important part of a superannuation policy. Rigoli compensation lawyers can help you check you are insured in the event of a total and permanent disability, and in what types of situations.
If you suffer a total and permanent disability, it is important to get your application right the first time you contact your superannuation fund. As compensation or benefits are determined on information you provide the initial decision maker to determine your eligibility at this stage. Make sure that you get it right the first time.
Laws made by our Federal Parliament and the Courts regarding what is determined to be a ‘total and permanent disability’ are becoming increasingly complex. Make sure you consult a Melbourne compensation lawyer who is up to date and understands these developments to make sure that the right evidence is put before the superannuation fund in making its decision, or, upon review by the fund or the Australian Financial Complaints Authority.
If you are unsuccessful at these stages, we can assist you with any Court application to obtain what is often a significant amount of compensation or pension amount payable to you by your superannuation fund.
