Superannuation and Insurance

Illness Alliance Superannuation Planning Group)
Introduction: what this article is about
One of the biggest legal issues facing people living with CFS/ME is access to superannuation and insurance benefits. Whether claiming their preserved superannuation contributions, total and permanent disablement lump sums, or insurance income protection payments, people with CFS/ME often have problems with superannuation funds and insurance companies.
This pamphlet gives you general information about superannuation and insurance policies, superannuation contributions, how to make claims, particularly for disability benefits, the effect on Centrelink payments and what happens if you return to work.
The pamphlet also includes details of your rights of appeal and the CFS/Disability Advice Service.
