Disability Insurance

We make sure you’re financially protected – so you can focus on what truly matters.

A disability insurance policy protects you if you’re unable to work for health reasons – giving you the security and peace of mind you deserve for a fresh start.

Information at a Glance

Good to know

Disability can affect anyone – not just manual workers

Many people think of a roofer who can’t work after a fall when they hear “disability.” The reality is different:
By far the most common reason why people can no longer work is mental illness, accounting for almost 36% of all cases today. Depression, burnout, or anxiety disorders can affect anyone – whether your work is physical or mental.

Even more concerning: among people under 50, more than one in three cases of disability is caused by psychological conditions. The trend is clear – before 2010, the share was around 20%.

That’s why disability insurance isn’t a question of occupation, but of preparation. Whether you’re a controller, engineer, or nurse – if you rely on your work for your livelihood, you should protect your ability to earn an income.

Getting started is easy

Four steps to your coverage

Step 1: Schedule a consultation

Choose a date that works for you – conveniently online via Calendly.

To help us prepare, please provide a few basic details in advance:

  • Your age
  • Job title
  • Preexisting conditions (yes/no)
  • Smoker (yes/no)

Step 2: Consultation & needs assessment

In a personal conversation, we’ll analyze your specific needs and present suitable disability insurance options. We explain all benefits, terms, and coverage amounts – so you can make an informed decision.

Step 3: Application & health questionnaire

We’ll complete the application and health questions together – either during the appointment or afterward using a PDF form. Joint completion is recommended so we can provide guidance on the health disclosure process.

Step 4: Health review & policy start

The insurer reviews your application and sends feedback – approval, conditional approval, or with a risk surcharge. We’ll explain your options and support you all the way through the start of your policy and beyond.
