Has your claim been rejected, declined, or ignored?
A rejected claim doesn't always mean the end of the road. Insurance and super fund decisions can sometimes be challenged, reviewed, or revisited — especially if:
- Important medical evidence wasn't considered
- The wrong policy definition was applied
- Your circumstances have changed since the original decision
- You were dealing with the claim while also unwell
- You weren't aware of all the options available to you
If your claim has stalled, been knocked back, or you've been told there's nothing they can do, it's worth a second look.
Common reasons claims get rejected
- Definition mismatch — your situation didn't match the policy's specific wording, but a different definition or policy might apply
- Insufficient medical evidence — additional reports or specialist opinions can sometimes change the picture
- Procedural issues — paperwork errors, missed timelines, or documentation gaps
- Pre-existing condition exclusions — these can sometimes be challenged or worked around
- Capacity to work assessments — these are subjective and sometimes contested
"No" isn't always final
A first rejection is sometimes just a first response. There may be options like internal review, external complaint mechanisms (like AFCA), or reapplying with new evidence. We can help you understand what's possible.
What you can do
Depending on your situation, options may include:
- Internal review through the fund or insurer
- External complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA)
- Submitting new medical evidence
- Re-applying under a different policy or definition
- Seeking specialist legal support for complex disputes
