What Is Early Superannuation Access in NSW?

Accessing superannuation early is allowed in various circumstances if you’re permanently unable to work. Specifically, this “permanent incapacity” claim lets you tap into your super savings without needing TPD insurance. For instance, it covers:

• Permanent Incapacity: A condition preventing you from working in any job suited to your skills.
• Examples: Chronic illnesses like cancer, severe injuries like spinal damage, or mental health issues like severe depression.
• No TPD Needed: Access your accumulated super balance, not just an insurance payout.

Our Oran Park lawyers simplify this process, ensuring you get the funds you’re entitled to.

Are You Eligible to Access Super Early in NSW?

Eligibility for early super access in NSW requires meeting strict criteria. For example:

• Permanent Incapacity: You’re unlikely to work again in a role matching your qualifications.
• Medical Evidence: Two doctors (e.g., your GP and a specialist) must certify your condition.
• Super Fund Approval: Your super fund trustee reviews your claim based on medical reports.

Qualifying Conditions: Heart disease, neurological disorders, or severe mental health issues often qualify. Importantly, you can access funds as a lump sum or income stream, depending on your fund’s rules.

Steps to Access Your Superannuation Early

Navigating a permanent incapacity super claim can be complex. Therefore, our lawyers follow this clear process:

1. Collect Medical Evidence: Obtain reports from two doctors confirming your permanent incapacity.
2. Review Your Super Fund: Check your ATO account or contact your fund to understand your balance and rules.
3. Submit Your Claim: Complete the fund’s application with medical reports and ID.
4. Trustee Review: The super fund evaluates your claim, which may take weeks to months.
5. Appeal Denials: If rejected, we appeal to the fund or escalate to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).

Our team handles paperwork and fights denials to secure your funds quickly.
