The plan pays out monthly until you either turn 70 or until you reach the age you initially nominated for yourself. The cover amount will be paid in full, even when you can still work.
Post-retirement Impairment Income Benefit
This salary insurance benefit pays out when the functional impairment occurs after you have retired. You get up to half the cover amount as income and is paid out as long as you live.

If you are permanently or completely disabled, and so unable to work, this salary insurance benefit will pay out. It will continue to do so monthly until you are the age you initially chose when selecting your cover.

The payout for this salary insurance is on death. The income is paid monthly to your dependents or spouse until the cover expires. The income is paid for a minimum of five years, in monthly instalments.
Sanlam’s products are designed to tackle the serious financial impairment that can come about because of illness or injury. No matter what, you can ensure that you and your family are properly protected.
