Disability Insurance

There is no doubt that your greatest asset is your ability to work and earn an income.

IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD AN INSURANCE PREMIUM, YOU SURE CAN’T AFFORD A DISABILITY!

After all, you insure your house, car and other assets, which don't come anywhere near your income earning potential.

If you are managing to survive on your salary… how will you survive without it?

You have a:

1 in 1200 chance you may have to claim for fire or theft in your home.

1 in 8 chance you will suffer a disability before age 65.

1 in 250 chance you will damage or have your car stolen.

One year of disability can wipe out 10 years’ worth of savings.

More homes are lost through disability than death.

Your earnings are vital to both you and your family’s continued financial security.

A few questions to consider:

What will you and your family do if your income stops through disability?
Will your spouse be able to support you on one salary?
How will it affect your family’s current lifestyle?
Worse still, if you are single, who will you then depend on? Your parents?

BUT…

Who will have to support you and your family, for the rest of your lives?
How will they manage?

And what can they do to protect you, if they die before you?

A huge responsibility that no one should have to bear!

1You could also lose all your current assets and investments.
2You could also lose your family home and your pension saving plan.
3Will your children be able to stay at their school?
4Your life could change for the worse.
5And a disability might last for the rest of your life!
6Disability can happen at any time, to anyone – regardless of race, religion, gender or profession. It is not selective!
7Your need for disability insurance becomes even more important if you have other people outside of your immediate family, like an elderly parent, who depends upon you for income.

A situation that is too frightening to contemplate – but that can so easily be prevented!

Surely it makes sense to secure your income earning potential!?

Unfortunately, people often assume that just because they’re healthy, they won’t become disabled. And that’s simply not true. Accidents happen

So being healthy doesn’t usually have anything to do with whether you become disabled or not

Your lifestyle is determined by the income you earn. Take away this income and you are in deep, deep trouble!

Only two things produce an income:

1People at work
2Capital at work

If you cannot work anymore and like many, don’t have the capital saved, you’ll need another source of income…

Disability Insurance is the only way to IMMEDIATELY have access to a large, tax - free lump sum if you suffer a life - changing event.

  • Approximately 10% of the world’s population (650 million people), live with a disability.
  • In South Africa, only 25 out of every10 000 people who are afflicted with adisabilityandrehabilitated and can return to work.
