What is Disablement Insurance?

One of the times we most rely on insurance is when we suffer an unexpected health issue that leaves us unable to work.

We help policyholders with Total Permanent Disablement (TPD)Insurance claims, Income Protection Insurance and Trauma Insurance. This type of insurance is collectively called Disablement Insurance.

  • TPD Insurance is an insurance policy that pays a lump sum that is triggered when someone becomes permanently disabled and is unable to work due to illness or injury.

  • Income protection insurance is a policy that pays a monthly benefit if you are disabled due to illness or injury and, as a result, you are unable to work in your own occupation.

  • Trauma Insurance pays a lump sum that is triggered when someone suffers a defined illness (sometimes called critical illness cover). This is commonly coupled with Life insurance policies.

How can we help with your claim?

You have taken out TPD or Income Protection Insurance- what happens when the insurance company does not honour its commitment?

Having worked for and against all major insurance companies, we understand the insurance system and how to get the maximum benefits under your policy.
