Superannuation

If you cannot work due to injury or illness, regardless of whether the injury or illness is related to work, you might be eligible to claim superannuation insurance benefits. Barbante Personal Injury Lawyers can help you look at which benefits you might be eligible to claim through your superannuation fund.

These benefits are connected to the insurance you have through your super fund, and could include benefits for Total and Permanent Disability (TPD), Income Protection (IP), Death or Trauma. You might be entitled to receive a lump sum or monthly payments. In some circumstances, you may be able to access your whole superannuation account balance. Sometimes, the insured benefit is automatically provided to you as a member of your superannuation fund, or you might have to apply for it specifically.

If you are receiving WorkCover or even TAC payments, you may be entitled to superannuation insurance benefits and loss-of-income protection.  To be eligible to claim, your policy needs to be in force either at the date last worked or the date of injury.
