Lump sum disability or impairment benefit claim

Lump sum occupational disability benefits pay out in the event permanent disability caused by illness, injury or an accident that has resulted in the insured life not being able to perform the duties of his or her occupation.

Functional impairment cover protects you against the long term financial impact of permanent illnesses or injuries such as paraplegia, blindness and dementia. In order to approve a claim for functional impairment, we will need proof that the illness or injury has caused a permanent impairment.

If a valid claim is admitted, the claim amount will be paid to the following people in the following order:
