This can give a great deal of financial flexibility, whilst many choose a sum equal to one year\u2019s earnings.<\/p>\n<p>TPD cover is the cheapest of insurances, as the chances of this happening are very low. The impact on your financial situation in the event that this should occur however, is usually far worse than if the individual had died outright, as it creates a major upheaval and loss of earnings not just for the person afflicted, but also for the other partner, as they will invariably need to take an extended break from work to provide assistance. Even with the payment of benefits under Income Cover, a prolonged period of this situation could have a serious negative impact on your financial position.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>These products can all be accelerated or stand-alone off the Life Cover.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Stepped Premiums and Level Premiums&#8221; module_id=&#8221;life-cover&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.10&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(255,255,255,0.7)&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;40px|50px|40px|50px|false|false&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3225&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What are Stepped Premiums and Level Premiums?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<table class=\" alignleft\" style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: hidden;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 18.9165%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2740 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wisdom8.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/icon-stepped.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 81.0835%;\"><strong>Stepped Premiums<\/strong><br \/>\nIncrease annually as you get older, but usually start cheaper.<br \/>\nTo cover short or medium term needs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 18.9165%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2740 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wisdom8.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/icon-level.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 81.0835%;\"><strong>Level Premiums<\/strong><br \/>\nDon&#8217;t increase as you get older but usually start higher.<br \/>\nTo cover long term needs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The plan details will vary from insurance company, please refer to the policy wording of the cover.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.10&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.10&#8243; background_enable_image=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_header title=&#8221;Talk to our Financial Adviser for more details&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; button_one_text=&#8221;Contact us&#8221; button_one_url=&#8221;https:\/\/wisdom8.co.nz\/en\/contact-us\/&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.10&#8243; title_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; title_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/wisdom8.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/321484059-w2.jpg&#8221; parallax=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_button_one=&#8221;on&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221;][\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Total &#038; Permanent Disability Cover Provides a lump sum if your illness develops to the extent that you\u2019ll never work again.
