Why does super fund income protection stop at age 65? There are many workers/employees that are over that age , can we get something done about this.

Got a question over income protection. Broken hip work 10/1/19 workers comp just had second surgery to remove metal. Lodged a claim with supper insurance as unable to return to my 65 hr wk job. Got approved for protection to make up short fall of eml payments but now after 4 months, apparently they calculate payment on 12 months past year. Only worked half of year as job didn't work out. Half income than next. Even that my job before that was 8 1/2 years at that work. I'm having trouble getting policy as mine was lost in house fire in 2008. ( boxer shorts and footy jumper was what I was left with. P.j's I was wearing. I'm wondering what my next course of action could be as I've being a member of this supper fund since 2001.i can't see why my mis fortune should be there gain as I'm getting frustrated dealing with what's happened to me with work and cv-19 and now a fund that's letting me down after being with them for quite a while. Any advice is welcome

Thankyou

Tommy

I am currently receiving income protection insurance due to a hip operation some time ago... I am back at work, but only working half of my full time hours... My insurance company makes up the rest of my pay... My question is.... If I need to have time off due to covid 19 (to have a test or to self isolate)... Will my insurance company still make my regular monthly payment or will I need to claim sick payments from work.

Thanks, janene
