If you have TSC in super, it is worth checking whether it is duties based, or hours based. It is also worth considering wait periods, and payment periods. Read the fine print!
For example, if you have TSC through your super for a fixed time, say 2 years, you can take out separate IP for life with a 2 yr wait... Longer wait = significantly reduced premiums.
Few other things:
-They usually pay to a max. of 75%...
-Understand your permanent and total disability stuff, as well as death benefits.
-If the premiums come out of super, this is something to keep in mind for the long term performance of your super.
-Increases in premiums may be related to indexation associated with forecast pay increases.
