TPD Insurance Sydney

Total permanent disability claims (TPD) is anything, which will medically permanently stop a person from working. We like to explain it as a ‘medical retirement’. Whatever the issue is, it is likely you will no longer be able to work again. How each person is affected by a medical condition is different. An illness may progress differently in different people and the definition of TPD may also be different.

​Greg has been helping my family for a couple of years now and he is completely professional, attentive and most knowledgeable about all aspects of our insurance cover. When I had my illness he was able to help immediately – especially with assisting me complete all those forms. He regularly touches base with us to make sure I am all well and to offer any further assistance. We would highly recommend Greg.

We are here to help for disability insurance claims or TPD insurance!

Total Permanent Disability (TPD) is an injury or illness, which will medically permanently stop a person from working. We like to explain it as a ‘medical retirement’. Whatever the issue is, it is likely you will no longer be able to work again. How each person is affected by a medical condition is different. An illness may progress differently in different people and the definition of TPD may also be different depending on your insurance company or your superannuation fund and if your insurance policy provides total permanent disability claims.

Parkinson’s Disease

As an example is someone with Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s is a degenerative disease and as it progresses, its effect will be more evident and the effect more significant on how it impacts your life. Early-stage Parkinson’s will allow some people to continue to work, however as the disease worsens, it is likely the ability to work will reduce to the point where working is no longer feasible and you will have to cease working.

Stroke

A person who has a severe stroke may recover to the point where the results of the stroke are minimal with no long term effects so the person can resume their life with no impact and continue to work. However, depending on the severity, the effects of a stroke can be significant.

A combination of conditions

A person may have one condition which may not stop them from working (i.e. they can continue to work with that diagnosis.) However, some conditions may lead to secondary issues, and the combination of conditions could lead to that person not working. How a disease, illness or injury affects a person is often unique.

OWN vs ANY Occupation

The type of TPD definition is also important. Most policies (especially in superannuation) have a TPD cover definition of ‘ANY’ which means that a person cannot do ANY job. Some policies have a TPD definition of ‘OWN’ which means that a person cannot do the occupation for which they sought to cover themselves. An example may be a dentist or a pilot with Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s may not allow that person to do their own occupation, but they could still do other work. The threshold for OWN occupation is therefore much lower than it is for ANY occupation.

Some TPD policies, particularly inside a superannuation fund could have multiple definitions depending on the severity of the illness or injury, and the full TPD benefit may not be available.

Have a question about TPD insurance Sydney? 

I have been a customer of Greg and would recommend him for his services in personal insurance.  He has worked hard as the intermediary with my insurance company and has come up with an excellent result given the circumstances of my situation. It is most unlikely I would have had this outcome without his assistance.
