TPD Claims: When the System Breaks You Twice

How Australia’s safety nets are failing the people who need them most.

In this confronting episode, Matt and Lionel dive into the world of Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) claims—where money meets trauma and red tape can cost lives. From the frontline of financial advice, they unpack the emotional and financial minefield of navigating TPD, workers comp, Centrelink and superannuation.

They reveal how mental health-related TPD claims are on the rise, yet the system meant to protect vulnerable Australians is slow, confusing, and often unfair. Matt shares the real reason he became a TPD expert (spoiler: it wasn’t by choice), and they challenge the industry to step up with better, fairer, more human solutions.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens after someone’s life is turned upside down—physically, mentally, and financially—this episode will shake you. It’s not just about payouts. It’s about dignity, documentation, and doing what’s right.

This one’s for the people no one’s listening to. Until now.
