Am I Eligible to Make a TPD Mental Illness Claim in NSW?

You may be able to make a TPD mental illness claim if you can prove your condition has permanently stopped you from working. It doesn’t have to be work-related.

To make a TPD claim, you need to have TPD insurance through your superannuation fund or a private insurer (many super funds automatically include TPD insurance).

TPD insurance policies have complex exclusions and eligibility criteria that can affect your claim. At Wyatts, we have a team of TPD mental illness claim lawyers who can guide you through the policy, avoid mishaps and get you what you’re entitled to.

What Mental Health Conditions Can I Claim Under TPD?

There’s no specific illness that qualifies for a TPD claim. The key is whether your condition stops you from going back to your usual job or any other job suited to your skills and experience.

Below are some common mental conditions that may be eligible for a TPD claim:

Injuries Descriptions

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

It is a serious mental health condition often linked to exposure to traumatic events, particularly affecting emergency service workers, making it impossible for them to perform their everyday work.

Depression

Severe depression can significantly impact cognitive function, social interactions, and the ability to work.

Anxiety Disorders

Severe anxiety, chronic stress, panic attacks, or anxiety disorders that severely disrupt daily activities and employment

Bipolar Disorder

The condition can make it difficult to maintain employment due to fluctuations in cognitive, emotional, and social functioning.

Schizophrenia

It is a long-term mental health condition that can severely impact cognitive and social functioning.

Does the Cause of My Mental Illness Matter?

No, the cause of your mental illness doesn’t affect your eligibility for a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim. If your condition prevents you from working, you may qualify. If your illness developed at the workplace or due to work, you might also be eligible for workers’ compensation. However, some policies have exclusions, such as pre-existing conditions.

If you’re unsure, consulting a TPD mental health claim lawyer can help clarify your options.

What TPD Benefits Can You Claim for
Mental Illness?

TPD benefits are paid in a lump sum. The amount depends on the terms of your insurance policy through your superannuation fund or employer. These payouts provide financial security for people who are permanently unable to work due to an injury or illness.

The value of your payout is based on the level of coverage you had when you stopped working, even if your coverage has since lapsed. Since TPD insurance policies often have conditions that may reduce or expire coverage as you age, it’s best to check your entitlements as soon as you think you may need to make a claim.

The amount you can claim under a TPD policy—the insured benefit amount—is in your superannuation member statement.

If you’re not sure about your entitlements, our superannuation lawyers can assess your case and guide you through the process.
