Common questions

What counts as a permanent disability?

This depends on your chosen definition — own-occupation cover pays out if you can't do your specific job, while any-occupation cover requires you to be unable to do any suited work.

Can I have Disability Cover without Life Cover?

Yes, Disability Cover can be taken out as a standalone policy, though many clients combine it with Life Cover.

Does this cover temporary disability?

No — this product covers permanent disability; temporary loss of income is covered by Income Protection instead.

Not sure which definition fits your job?

An adviser at Mzansi Advisors can help you choose between own-occupation and any-occupation cover — at no extra cost.
