Do refer to TPD table. It pays by percentage. The above is payable and is considered as Total Permanent Disable (TPD) subject to waiting period, of course)
Diabetes itself is not under the 36 CI but if not control can leads to organ failure(kidney), amputation or blindness. Hence anyone who developed diabetes is not payable until the illness manifest into something more severe.
Same goes to high blood pressure.
Should both kidney fails and needs dialysis, that is covered under the medical card.
Having said that, older waiver does not waives the premium should someone is TPD. Newer policies waiver covers the TPD before age 70, and Critical Illness.
If I am not mistaken, TPD table is only applied to Personal Accident Insurance (it pay by percentage). For life insurance, TPD is either defined as:
1) Loss of both eyes or arms or legs,
2) Cannot return to work due to permanent disability AND cannot do any 3 of the Daily Activities
If the policy holder lost 1 arm OR 1 leg due to natural causes, not accident, it is not yet achieve the condition of TPD. Thus, insurance company won't pay any cents. Is it correct???
I know that there are some early pay CI rider which pay 10% or 20% of CI sum insured (depend on company) for amputation of any 1 limb due to Diabetes. However, what I concern is that for amputation of 1 leg due to diabetes, is it cover under normal 36 CI???
