You may be able to claim income protection, life insurance, and TPD insurance benefits when you cannot return to work because of cancer.

The intensive medical treatment required for those diagnosed with cancer can mean:

You cannot continue your daily routine
You can't work and earn an income.
Your mental health suffers
Thankfully, most Australians have TPD cover, income protection and life insurance attached to their superannuation fund but don't know how to claim entitlements.
