A disability shouldn't stop
you from living your life
Neither should your insurance.

What is Old Mutual's Disability insurance?

Old Mutual's Disability insurance pays out a single amount or monthly payments (depending on the type of cover you choose) if you, due to an illness or injury are impaired, unable to work or to take care of yourself. And because no two people are the same, we let you choose the type of cover you need. You can also personalise your cover by adding on extra benefits and features.
How does it work?
  • Choose your cover. Choose between cover that pays out a single amount (Old Mutual Protect Disability Cover, Old Mutual Protect Functional Impairment Cover, Old Mutual Protect Physical Impairment Cover or Old Mutual Protect Accidental Disability and Death Cover) or a monthly payment (Old Mutual Protect Disability Income Cover, Old Mutual Protect Functional Impairment Income Cover or Old Mutual Protect Business Expenses Cover) when you claim.
  • Enrich your cover by paying extra for benefits such as Family Support Benefit, Sickness Benefit, Child Impairment Benefit and many more other helpful benefits on offer.
  • Choose your add-ons such as Cashback or Premium Protection.
  • Choosing the right cover doesn’t have to be daunting. With the help of your adviser, you just need to follow these three quick and easy steps.
