What are the two main types of financial help available in Australia for a permanent disability such as amputation?
NDIS & Centrelink
Most Australians know that it’s possible to get financial help their amputation through a disability support pension via the NDIS and Centrelink. Most also have heard horror stories about people with amputations or other major injuries who have their claims rejected. It can be tricky to gather enough evidence to show that you meet the disability requirements.
TPD Insurance Claims
Sadly, not enough Australians were told that part of their compensation while working was the TPD insurance in their superannuation policy. It’s not well advertised but it’s a substantial help if illness/injury forces you out of work. The types of evidence needed to claim TPD insurance for amputation injuries are similar to applying for the NDIS but instead of sending it to the government, it is sent to your super insurance company. Super claims are tough to win on your own, most who try to claim are declined.
Super Claims Assist has helped Australians navigate the process to claim insurance from all Australian super funds. The process can be long and confusing so it’s good to have a free chat to discuss what it takes to win your claim.
