An illness can erode your health either gradually or quickly, until you’re unable to work – or a serious accident could leave you totally and permanently disabled.
If you become disabled there are all sorts of unexpected costs you are going to have to deal with – permanent disability cover can take care of those costs, giving you the peace of mind to focus on coming to terms with your disability.
Key Benefits of Total Permanent Disability Cover (TPD):
Statistics show that one in nine men, and one in five women will become disabled and unable to work for more than 12 months before the age of 65. If your working life comes to a complete halt, there are both present and future financial costs to consider.
Permanent disability cover provides a lump sum payment if you’re permanently disabled due to illness or injury. The payment can be used for any purpose – living expenses, a full-time carer or modifications to your home – whatever extra costs you incur due to your disability.
But it is also useful for eliminating or reducing debt, so that you can maintain an affordable lifestyle. It immediately lifts the financial burden of your disability or illness, making it easier for you and your family to look to the future optimistically.
