If required, an annuity may be insured for the event of illness only (without accident risk) at a more affordable premium.
If you become occupationally disabled, the insured sum will be paid after a waiting period of six months. In the event of partial incapacity to work, a proportionate sum will be paid.
If the insured person dies as a result of an accident (or road accident), the agreed capital sum will be paid in addition to the main insurance benefits.
In the event of the death of the insured person (e.g. the premium payer) we take over the payment of premiums.
