prudential will be launching pruearly stage disability, a first of its kind product in singapore.
what is pruearly stage disability?
Early Stage Disability is Singapore's first and only insurance policy that covers you against partial and temporary disablement, as a result of an illness or injury, based on your ability to carry out daily tasks affecting your quality of life. These tasks are Quality of Life Conditions (QLC) which can potentially have a major impact on your lifestyle - and probably your finances. Early Stage Disability starts to provide payout if one is unable to perform at least 2 of the 6 Quality of Life Conditions (QLC), which will affect your quality of life1.
This plan provides comprehensive coverage with Partial or Full Payout2 on selected early disabilities. It also covers you for Total and Permanent Disability2 and disabilities as a result of selected hazardous activities under the Special Risk benefit2 , Upon the first claim made under Partial Payout2, the future premiums will be waived so you can concentrate on recovery. For PRUearly stage disability (standalone plan)3, a benefit of $3,000 is payable in the event of death.
