1. TPD insurance can protect you when you are unable to work due to a serious injury or illness. Disability insurance ensures that policy holders who are unable to work do not have to worry about money at such times since they are given compensation payments by the selected insurance company.

2. TPD covers offer an extended benefit period compared to income protection plans hence disability plans cost more than income protection plans and other types of personal insurance plans.

3. There are at least 3 factors taken into consideration by insurance companies when buyers ask for quotes. These factors include the tenure of the policy, the insured amount and the age of the buyer. In addition, insurance companies may consider other factors such as the gender of the buyer, the types of benefits opted for and the number or type of pre existing conditions of the buyer.

4. People who opt for this type of insurance plan can either opt for basic plans or good plans. The main benefits of opting for good plans is that these plans are flexible and buyers can decide which benefits they want, how much to ensure themselves for and how they want to pay premiums.

5. Buyers who want to save money while buying total and permanent disability insurance plans should not only ask various companies for quotes but should also opt for companies that offer cash rebates and other deals. Usually insurance brokers offer such deals and also offer multiple quotes. Insurance brokers that offer policies online allow buyers to compare multiple quotes in just a few minutes.
