We don’t like to think about the possibility that illness or disability could befall us, but it’s always better to be prepared than to be caught off guard.

From financial assistance to access to specialists in biokinetics – disability cover offers a wide range of benefits that will protect you and your loved ones. Join us as we share advice on how you can secure your family’s future today.

Then, Dehan van der Walt takes us through his inspiring journey on how he continued pursuing his passions after losing his arm at 18 years old. 

Let’s start with Momentum’s Stanley Gabriel as he explains why it’s always important to plan ahead and consider adding disability cover into your family health plan.

Planning ahead

“According to research, 70% of people will experience some form of disability, illness, or injury that will hinder them from earning an income,” explains Momentum Investo CEO, Stanley Gabriel. This is why Gabriel suggests clients should always plan ahead for the possibility of potential health risks you or your loved ones could experience.

To ensure that you and your family are successfully covered and protected, Gabriel implores clients to consider including disability cover in their financial plan to have the safety net of being insured should an incident occur. 

To help you make an informed decision about the disability cover you can afford, he recommends seeking assistance from your financial adviser. Momentum has a list of financial advisers on their website for you to peruse and find an adviser who will best guide you on your financial journey.

The 3 considerations of disability cover

Theo Vorster, the CEO of Galileo Capital, takes us through 3 key things to consider when looking at disability cover. 

"Disability is not a nice subject, and you cannot sugar-coat it," Vorster explains. “It’s a situation where somebody cannot do what they want to do or need to do to generate an income to look after themselves,” he adds. 

It is for this reason that Vorster urges families to consider including disability cover in order to safeguard against risk today or in the future.
