Claiming TPD, Income Protection or Life Payout for Cancer You may be able to claim income protection and TPD insurance benefits when you cannot return to work because of cancer. The intensive medical treatment required to manage or suppress your cancer will likely mean you cannot continue your daily routine, including earning an income. Most Australians have TPD cover and income protection insurance through their superannuation fund but have limited knowledge of their ability to claim their entitlements.
