Risks Covered by a Discovery Life Plan
The Discovery Life Plan that we at IHS promote is made up of seven main benefits. These are referred to as “mainstay benefits” and include:
The Life Fund
- This is the actual life insurance cover benefit and covers loss of life.
The Capital Disability Benefit
- This is your lump sum benefit that covers disabilities that might be incurred over the course of a lifetime.
The Income Continuation Benefit
- This fund is used to cover you if you cannot generate an income?
The Severe Illness Benefit
- This benefit covers you against a list of chronic illnesses such as cancer. Contact us for a full list of illnesses and diseases covered by this benefit.
The Global Education Protector
- This benefit covers your kid’s education costs if you suffer a life changing event such as death, disability or even critical illness.
