What is a Total Permanent Disability?
To be considered for a TPD pay-out your condition must severe enough that you are permanently unable to carry out certain daily living tasks or carry out your own (or any) occupation again.
Insurance companies set a high bar when assessing these types of claims and often drag on for months (and even years) by requesting never ending amounts of medical reports and information.
ME, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and TPD Insurance
Most of the enquiries we receive about claiming on Total Permanent Disability Insurance relate to either ME, Fibromyalgia and CFS. These conditions can be debilitating with symptoms as severe as those with cancer and MS. Often these symptoms can fluctuate, and people may have “good” days but often their lives are changed dramatically due to their symptoms.
Some people impacted by these conditions may also be under the care of several medical professionals, and this can mean it’s harder to get an encompassing medical opinion on someone’s current medical situation.
Generally speaking, someone will need to have been receiving treatment for the above conditions for a year or so before an insurance company will consider a claim (or at least six months). This is because NHS literature states that these conditions (if they are going to improve) should do so by around six-twelve months.
Resolute Claims have an expert understanding of these conditions and how they relate to TPD insurance. We suggest speaking to one of our specialists before making a claim.
Mental Health and TPD Insurance
Mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression and stress are common reasons to claim on a TPD insurance policy. As with CFS, ME and Fibromyalgia, the bar insurance companies set to accept these claims is very high.
Someone will often have to have undergone extensive treatment before the insurance company will consider a claim.
How Long Does It Take for a Total Permanent Disability Insurance Pay-Out?
The time frame on a TPD claim can be dependent on how far your condition has progressed and how much future treatment is planned. We have seen claims take as little as six weeks and as long as four years.
