Navigating Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Claims
Navigating Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Claims: How Newcastle Advisors Can Help
Facing a total and permanent disability (TPD) can be a daunting experience, impacting not only your physical and mental health but also your financial stability. At Newcastle Advisors, we understand the complexities involved in making a TPD claim and are here to provide expert guidance and support to help you secure the benefits you deserve.
What Qualifies for a TPD Claim?
A TPD claim can be made for a wide range of medical concerns. Generally, any physical injury, illness, or psychological disorder that prevents you from working in your regular job can qualify for a TPD insurance claim. This includes conditions such as:
- Severe physical injuries
- Chronic illnesses
- Mental health issues like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma
Why Choose Newcastle Advisors for Your TPD Claim?
Many Australians facing TPD struggles are burdened with piling debts, escalating medical bills, and the stress of managing their condition. Navigating the claims process can be overwhelming, especially when you are not familiar with the intricacies of superannuation funds and insurance companies. Here’s why choosing Newcastle Advisors can make a significant difference:
1. Expertise and Experience:
- We have extensive experience dealing with big super funds and large insurance companies.
- Our team understands their processes, policies, and how to effectively manage your claim.
2. Holistic Financial Planning:
- Unlike lawyers who may charge exorbitant fees to simply fill out a form, our approach is comprehensive.
- We manage your claim, provide advice on repaying debts, and explore options for long-term income to sustain your lifestyle and health needs.
3. Tax-Free Uplift Management:
- Super funds often promise a tax-free uplift, but in our experience, this is rarely applied correctly.
- We have successfully reduced the tax payable for our clients from 22% down to 2%, ensuring you receive the maximum benefit.
4. Support Throughout the Process:
- Making a claim is not a quick or easy process; it can take weeks, months, or even years.
- Having us on your side reduces stress and anxiety, allowing you to focus on your health and well-being.
Beware of "No Win, No Fee" Lawyers
It's important to be cautious of lawyers who offer "no win, no fee" arrangements or charge fixed fees of $25,000 just to submit a claim form. These legal professionals may prey on vulnerable individuals, often leaving you to complete the form yourself. Instead, consider the comprehensive support a financial planner can offer, which extends far beyond just lodging a claim.
