Functional Impairment pays a lump sum when you become functionally impaired due to injury or disease which limits your ability to perform normal daily activities. (even if you are still able to do your job)
Depending on the severity of the impairment you may receive a partial payment, which also means that you may claim more than once against your impairment cover.
Impairment covers protects from financial ruin due to medical bills and the cost of alterations or equipment to help you live easier with your impairment.
This is also a very good option if you are in an occupation that is excluded from normal Disability Cover.
Instead of paying a once off lump sum, Income Protection pays you a monthly income in the event that you are unable to work due to injury or illness.
Income protection usually pays until death or retirement, or until you are able to get back to work.
You will be surprised how affordable this type of insurance is and you should consider it even if you just started your first job.
Income Protection is a great way to protect your finances even if you are only unable to work for a few weeks or months and ensures that you are able to continue paying other policies, including your medical aid, during this time.
