I have a claim that has recently been lodged and one of the eligibility criteria is not to have had or be applying for a TPD insurance benefit from another fund. At the point I became an "eligible" member of this new fund that I am claiming on now my old TPD insurance claim had been declined.

It ended up being paid via settlement conference in 2016. The decline was March 2014 and I became eligible in August 2014. Wondering if anyone has any opinion regarding this or have had any experience with this. I now have a permanent injury so I am unable to work on my most recent field of physical work.

My prior TPD claim was for psychiatric illness. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am now facing the prospect of being unable to work and only being refunded my past premium paid for insurance from this particular fund.
