Is Autoimmune disease a disability that qualifies for financial help in Australia?
If an autoimmune disease forced you out of work? Don’t miss out on financial help for your autoimmune condition in Australia
Autoimmune disease is a disability that qualifies for financial help in Australia. Help is available through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which is administered by Centrelink. Almost all Australians also earn TPD insurance as part of their super policy. TPD insurance can be claimed if an autoimmune disease or other condition force you to stop work.
NDIS and TPD are completely separate ways of getting help. It’s possible to claim both and get all the help you are entitled to.
Can I get disability for autoimmune disease?
Yes, you can get disability for an autoimmune disease. When you’ve been forced to stop working, financial help can make a huge difference. The physical changes and other symptoms related to your medical condition make it tough to hold down a regular job. When you can’t work, things get tough fast. Autoimmune diseases that qualify for disability support often qualify for TPD insurance.
Disability Support Pensions and TPD insurance claims from your super policy are the two main types of autoimmune disease financial help.
Financial help from a Centrelink DSP for Autoimmune Diseases
You can get Disability Support Pensions from Centrelink for Autoimmune disease. Unfortunately, about 70% of all who apply for disability pensions are rejected and it can be tough to figure out what disability requirements your application was missing. The government guidelines are heavy on legal jargon and it can be tough to figure out what to include to make an application successful without experience.

Australians with autoimmune disorders can also qualify to claim Total and Permanent Disability insurance through their current or past super policies. It was legally required for superannuation policies in Australia but insurance companies can make it difficult to claim the benefits you are owed.
If you are unsure if you qualify for either or both, it’s worth having a free phone chat with a claim specialist.
