Unable to work? You could be owed a TPD payout.

In March 2025, Robert’s life changed overnight. After more than 20 years as a forklift driver, he became seriously unwell and had to stop working. Once his sick leave and annual leave ran out, Robert was left relying on Centrelink payments—which barely covered his bills, let alone his family’s living costs.

Feeling overwhelmed and unsure of his options, Robert contacted Barsby Law in July for a free Super check.

What we found changed everything.

Robert had TPD (Total and Permanent Disability) insurance through his superannuation—something many Australians don’t even realise they have. We acted quickly, gathering medical evidence and preparing a strong case. In just over 9 weeks, we secured Robert and his family $216,000 lump sum compensation.

If you can’t work due to illness or injury, you might be entitled to a TPD claim too.

You could be sitting on a life-changing benefit and not even know it.
