What Is Total Permanent Disability (TPD) Insurance?

Total Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance provides a lump sum payment if the policyholder suffers a permanent disability and is unable to work. This payout can help cover medical costs, rehabilitation, home modifications, ongoing expenses, and debts.

Unlike income protection, which provides ongoing payments for temporary disabilities, TPD insurance offers a single payout when a permanent disability is confirmed.

How TPD Insurance Works

The policyholder selects a coverage amount based on future expenses and financial needs.

If diagnosed with a permanent disability that prevents work, a lump sum payment is provided.

The payout can be used for ongoing medical care, living costs, loan repayments, and household modifications.
