Understand your options with financial strategies for TPD payouts in Newcastle
Managing a successful TPD (total and permanent disability) claim is stressful and time-consuming for anyone dealing with a permanent disability, injury, or illness.
Elliot Watson Financial Planning provides expert financial strategies tailored to your needs, ensuring you understand your TPD insurance claim and payout options to secure your financial future.
Once your TPD insurance claim has been processed, the resulting lump sum payment is deposited into your superannuation fund. From this point, it’s important to have a clear, informed understanding of the complex tax implications of withdrawing money from your superannuation fund. You also have the option to initiate a superannuation income stream, which can provide a regular income flow post-TPD claim approval.
If you’ve had or are in the process of having a TPD claim approved in Newcastle, Singleton, or Maitland, it’s important to receive the right financial advice to understand your insurance benefit, preserve your quality of life and ensure your options regarding the taxation of the payment have been explored and structured to get the best outcome for yourself.

Case Study
In 2011, our team was approached by a former Police Officer diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Following her discharge from the NSW Police, she sought advice on managing her two payouts totalling just under $1 million.
The client’s main concerns were tax implications, maintaining her lifestyle, preserving her capital and feeling secure in making financial decisions for her future.
Solution
Our financial advisers provided comprehensive support, managing paperwork and simplifying the process for our client. Strategies were implemented to maximise insurance payouts while minimising tax impact, clearing debts, and designing an ongoing investment approach.
Our tailored financial strategy yielded significant immediate and long-term benefits. Without our advice, the client’s total payout of $971,110 would have been subject to $106,087 in tax. Our strategies reduced this to $36,000, which provided an immediate saving of $70,087.
We also helped the client create two tax-effective income streams through a tailored investment strategy. Instead of investing her capital in cash, we provided expert advice on an investment with a long-term rate return of 5% that saved the client $9,107 annually (or $391,601 over her life expectancy).
Alongside these financial rewards, we customised our approach to support the client’s PTSD-related stress, removing the burden of making complex financial decisions. By seeking our advice, the client successfully navigated her financial challenges while controlling her future.

FAQs
Can I make multiple claims for TPD benefits?
Yes, you may be eligible to lodge multiple claims if you have TPD insurance with more than one super fund. However, each TPD claim will be assessed separately, and your ability to claim depends on the terms of each superannuation TPD claim policy.
Can I claim both workers’ compensation and TPD benefits?
Yes, receiving workers’ compensation does not necessarily prevent you from making a TPD insurance claim. However, different policies and insurance providers have varying rules on how these payments interact. Reviewing your coverage carefully and/or contacting your superannuation and/or insurance company is essential.
How much will I receive from a successful TPD claim?
A successful TPD claim results in a lump sum payment, which can vary significantly depending on your superannuation fund, insurance policy, and the level of TPD benefits covered. Some claims amount to tens of thousands of dollars, while others may be an even more significant amount.
Are there tax implications?
In some cases, tax can apply to pay-outs. It’s important to obtain financial advice as soon as possible before you receive the funds as there may be strategies available to assist in mitigating tax liabilities.
