FAQs

Common questions.

What's the difference between own and any occupation TPD?
+

Own occupation pays if you can't do your specific job. Any occupation pays only if you can't work in any job at all. Own occupation is broader protection but costs more. We'll recommend what suits your situation.

How is TPD different from income protection?
+

Income protection pays a monthly benefit while you're off work and potentially recovering. TPD pays a one-off lump sum only when disablement is deemed permanent. Many clients hold both — income protection for short to medium term, TPD for the permanent scenario.

Can I hold TPD inside my KiwiSaver or superannuation?
+

In New Zealand TPD is typically held outside KiwiSaver as a standalone policy, though some employer group schemes may include it. We'll check what you already have.

Does it cost me anything?
+

Our insurance advice is completely free — insurers pay us a commission when your policy is placed. There is no cost to you for advice or the application.
