Fresh from their recent merger with Energy Super and Suncorp’s superannuation business, LGIAsuper recently announced their rebranding to Brighter Super, effective from 1 July 2022
Along with the bold and vivid new look, Brighter Super intends to become a national superannuation fund, offering superannuation services to all Australians beyond the local government and electricity sector workers of their past.
All members of Brighter Super are offered default life/death, total and permanent disablement and income protection insurance, subject to age and account balance.
Brighter Super is one of the few Australian funds to offer default income protection.
If you ceased work prior to the merger and/or rebranding, your insurance will be determined by whichever fund, insurer and policy terms existed at the time you last worked.
Know your rights.
Due to the complex nature of the merger between LGIAsuper, Energy Super and Suncorp to create Brighter Super, depending on when you ceased work you may be assessed by one of three different insurers, each with their own insurance policy.
It’s important to get legal advice to help you navigate the complexities.
If you are a member of LGIAsuper, Energy Super, Suncorp super or Brighter Super and are yet to make a an income protection or total and permanent disability (TPD) claim, you are entitled to legal representation and Littles can help you.
If you have already lodged a claim and it has been rejected by a superannuation fund or insurer, you may be entitled to have the decision reviewed through an internal resolution procedure.
If your complaint has been upheld, you may be able to litigate in a court or lodge a complaint with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
There are strict time limits to challenge an insurer’s decision, so it’s important you seek legal advice as soon as possible.
