So beware Income forecasts/projections -Disclosure requirements remain Reduced benefits -Aviva – 2 years partial, mental illness restrictions, 2 yrs ‘own’ then ‘any’ -MLC Std – 6 months partial, mental illness restrictions, 2 yrs ‘own’ then ‘any’ Employment breaks -Study -Childbirth Source: Plan for Life detailed statistics 2006

5. © Zurich 5 Agreed Value Vs Indemnity Agreed Value Underwritten benefit is payable assuming can be justified. Indexation increases usually covered. Financials may later be required Endorsed or Guaranteed Agreed Value Underwritten benefit and indexation increases payable without further financials for TOTAL DISABLEMENT. Partial disablement still requires financials. Indemnity Payable is lesser of schedule amount and recent income (usually last 12 months). Non-disclosure is still an issue
