I had severe as can pretty much get PND and after treatments I have severe anxiety and memory issues and have been told I can't work anymore. Has anyone had experience claiming TPD through super? What was asked of you and what were the timeframes?

The claims process will likely go on for a while, but I would absolutely do it if it was me. It can help immensely. They will send you forms to fill out and will likely ask you to get assessments from their doctors and psychs and probably reports from yours too.
I would recommend contacting a financial adviser in your area for assistance with it, if you can (I work for one and we assist with claims within and outside of super) - the first appointment is normally FOC and they might be able to help with some limited advice to get you started. Ring around and see if you can find someone who helps with claims.
