What's included?
Total Permanent Disablement Benefit pays a lump sum if you become permanently disabled and are unable to work as a result of accident or illness. There are two types available with this insurance.
Own Occupation
This option pays a lump sum if it becomes unlikely that you'll ever be able to work in the specific occupation you were involved in immediately prior to incapacitation.
Any Occupation
This option pays a lump sum if you become so incapacitated that it's unlikely you'll ever be able to work, in any occupation for which you are reasonably suited by education, training or experience, and which would pay remuneration greater than 25% of your pre-disability earnings during your last 12 months of work.
Assistance Benefit
Up to $15,000 may be reimbursed to cover costs of purchasing specialist equipment, completing home alterations or vehicle modifications which are necessary following a TPD benefit being paid.
Partial Permanent Disablement Benefit
This benefit is payable under certain circumstances (loss of sight in one eye, or loss of use of one hand or one foot); and will provide you with a lump sum payment of the lesser of 25% of your sum assured or $100,000.
Waiver of Total Permanent Disablement Waiting Period
AIA will, at its sole discretion, waive the three-month waiting period if an immediate medical assessment confirms total permanent disablement, and all other claim requirements have been met.
Total Permanent Disablement Future Insurability Benefit
You can apply to increase your Total Permanent Disablement insurance sum assured at every third policy anniversary without providing any further medical information. Limits and conditions apply, and every increase in disability cover will require an increase in premiums.
Financial and Legal Advice Benefit
This enables you to access financial and legal advice from an AIA-approved financial adviser or legal professional at claim time. AIA will reimburse fees up to $2,500.
Special Events Increase Facility
Enables you to increase the sum assured under your cover, without further medical underwriting following a significant event in your life which results in increasing financial responsibilities. These significant events include getting married, having a child, your child starting secondary school, taking out or increasing a residential home loan or receiving a salary increase and other major events.
Counselling Benefit
We will pay up to $2,500 (incl. GST) to cover the cost of a Psychiatrist or Psychologist consultation and counselling for you and/or your family where the treatment directly relates to a claim.
Suspension of Cover Benefit
The flexibility to suspend your cover for up to 12 months, without medical evidence if you meet the following conditions: take parental leave, take leave without pay for any reason, get made redundant, become unemployed, experience at least a 20% reduction in pay (comparing the most recent payslip against a previous payslip from the same year) or are self-employed and experience a 30% reduction in revenue (by comparing one month's revenue against the same month for the previous year). No benefits will be payable for any claim event which occurs during this suspension period.
