A cancer diagnosis — and the treatment that follows — can make working impossible for an extended period or permanently. In many cases, this can support a TPD claim.
When cancer can support a TPD claim
- The condition or treatment stops you from returning to work.
- Your inability to work is likely to be long-term or permanent.
- You had TPD cover when you stopped working.
It's separate from any super balance
A TPD insurance payout is generally separate from the super you've accumulated, and a successful claim may also let you access your super early in some circumstances.
