Advisers help clients increase success of claims on personal insurances
Clients often ask what the difference is between getting a policy though an Adviser or directly from an insurer or phone-sales desk. Recently the governing body (APRA) reported that personal insurance holders with an Adviser are more likely to receive pay-outs than non-advised policyholders.

The key takeaway for many clients is the important role Advisers play in supporting clients through disability claims like TPD/Income Protection (DII). APRA points to the likelihood that advised clients have clearer expectations regarding what their policies cover, and may also be discouraged from lodging claims that are not covered by their policies. Importantly, not lodging a claim can save unnecessary angst, stress and time, especially at a time when clients should be focusing on their health, or loved ones.
