Choose how it’s paid out
When customers take out this cover they can choose to either deduct any lump sum claim from their life cover (otherwise known as an accelerated benefit) or receive a lump sum claim on its own (a standalone benefit).
If added to Life cover and a Trauma multi claim is paid, the amount of the claim will be deducted from the Life cover. For an additional premium, customers can buy back the amount of the reduced Life cover 12 months after the claim payment, without any medical evidence and subject to conditions.

If your customer is totally disabled, or they are receiving a partial disability benefit under an income protection type cover on the same policy, the premiums due on the entire policy after the waiting period ends will be waived. While your customer needs to pay premiums during the waiting period, any premiums paid during that period will be refunded.
This option provides your customers with financial protection against Total and permanent disability with a lump sum payment.

A benefit is paid where a customer can’t perform at least two specified activities of daily living without the assistance of another person. For accelerated cover we’ll pay 20% of the sum assured every 12 months up to a maximum of five payments. For standalone cover we’ll pay only once. However, the customer can increase the number of payments by taking out the Loss of Independent Existence Option.
Yes. Experiencing certain life events allows customers to increase their cover without additional medical evidence. For example: getting married, civil union, having children or taking out a mortgage, stopping work to take full time care of a dependent relative or when they reach ages 25, 30, 35, 40 or 45.
Business customers may also be able to increase their cover by up to $250,000, or 25% of the sum assured, without additional medical evidence. The increased cover amount will be proportional to the customer’s increased value to the business or any loan increase.
