Disability insurance provides you with financial compensation if you are disabled by an accident or illness and unable to work.
Your eligibility for disability cover will depend on your health, lifestyle and type of employment. If you do qualify, your monthly premium will be based on factors such as your age, gender, health and occupation.
Your quote is based on your specific risk profile. The factors that will affect your risk profile are:
Age – younger individuals may pay a lower premium, as younger applicants are generally healthier.
Gender – the premiums are slightly lower on average for women.
Health – if you have a current health condition or a history of illness.
Lifestyle – if you participate in dangerous sports, such as regular sky diving, the risk of injury is higher and this would have an effect on your premium.
No, there are no medical exams or tests. You will however be asked a few health and lifestyle questions as well as be requested to complete an HIV test.
