Article 4 – Get your Total & Permanent Disability claim right, first time!
Published on August 15, 2022 by David Coorey
We understand how important it is for you that your TPD claim is paid, especially where you have been unable to work for some time because of illness and injury.
And we know how challenging it can sometimes be to understand exactly what information your Insurer wants and needs to be able to process your claim.
Insurers have large volumes of claims on their book, so they benefit by setting up claims processes.
These help insurers work more efficiently in claims resolution but they can sometimes lead to misunderstandings about your TPD claim. We have seen the impact these types of misunderstandings can have on claims.
For example, if you have delayed providing your Insurer certain information– or are unable to provide information they are after – your Insurer may draw a particular view about your overall TPD claim from your failure to provide that information.
Whilst it is up the Insurer to explain any concerns they have about your claim, it is up to you to provide sufficient information that can prove your claim.
