What is Total and Permanent Disablement Insurance?

Disablement is life changing. Total and Permanent Disablement Insurance can provide a financial injection to help make lifestyle changes if you become totally and permanently disabled due to sickness or injury. 

Most people use Total and Permanent Insurance for:

  • Paying for their spouse or another family member to take  time off work which allows them to provide extra help and support
  • Making lifestyle changes e.g. where they live, modifying their home, clearing debt such as credit card, personal loans, mortgage
  • Paying for additional costs such as travelling to medical appointments or additional childcare
  • Paying off the mortgage or other debt
  • Putting towards everyday living expenses as their income often reduces

Frequently asked questions

Does this pay me a regular income if I am unable to work?

This type of insurance gives you a one off lump sum payment if you permanently can’t work. If you’re after a regular income you should take a look at Income Protection.  This can pay you a portion of your income each month until you can return to work.
