20 Policy Document Life Protection, Total and Permanent Disablement & Salary Continuance Policy No. MP 9959 & MP 9961
3.3.2.2 Benefit Amount
The Partial Disability Benefit will be paid according to the following formula:
A – B x Monthly Benefit

where:
A = The Member’s Pre-Disability Income
B = The Member’s monthly Income for the month in which Partial Disability is claimed.
If the Member becomes Totally Disabled due to the same or a related Sickness or Injury, whilst the Partial Disability Benefit is
payable, the Insurer will pay the Monthly Benefit instead.
If work is not available to the Member because of their Sickness or Injury, but they are able to perform an important income
producing duty of their regular occupation to earn income, the Insurer will make a reasonable estimate of the Member’s monthly
Income when the Insurer calculates the benefit.
When calculating the benefit, the Insurer will take into account the loss of earnings if work is not available or the Member is on
leave without pay, medical advice and any other factors the Insurer considers to have a bearing on what the Member could
reasonably expect to earn if working.

the Member’s monthly Income would be less than their Pre-Disability Income; and
the Member is following the advice of a Medical Practitioner.

as unemployment or leave.

date disablement ceases.
3.3.4 Recurrent Disability Benefit
If the Member suffers a recurrence of the same or related Sickness or Injury within 12 months of the previous claim for a benefit
under clause 3.3 and is again Disabled, the Insurer will treat this as a continuation of the original claim that is subject to the

the Waiting Period.
3.3.6.1 Benefit Amount
The amount of the benefit paid equals the Monthly Benefit the Member applied for, subject to a maximum of $25,000 per month.
Partial Disability claims will be paid using the Partial Disability Benefit formula set out in clause 3.3.2.2. No further benefit will be
payable once an Interim Benefit is paid.

If, due to their Disability, the Member is entitled to any other income which exceeds 10% of their Pre-Disability Income, the Insurer
will reduce the Disability Benefit that the Insurer must pay the Member by the amount they have received.
Such disability income may include:
sick leave where the Member has accrued entitlements of at least 60 days at the commencement of the Waiting Period and chooses to use those entitlements during the Benefit Period. No adjustment will be made for accumulated sick leave where:
the Member has less than 60 days accumulated sick leave; or
the Member has at least 60 days accumulated sick leave but the Member chooses not to use that leave during the Benefit Period.
any payments resulting from a workers’ compensation or motor accident claim or any claim the Member makes under any state or Federal legislation;
benefits from any other insurance that provides income payments due to Sickness or Injury. This applies only if it was not disclosed to the Insurer when the Member applied for this cover or when the Member last applied for an increase in cover.
Any payment in the form of a lump sum or that is exchanged for a lump sum will be treated as having a monthly equivalent of
1/60th of the lump sum over a period of 60 months.
The reduction in the amount of a Disability Benefit will only be made to the extent that:
the Monthly Benefit, when combined with any other payment or monthly Income received by the Member while Disabled, exceeds the greater of either 75% of the Member’s Pre-Disability Income or the Monthly Benefit;
a Partial Disability Benefit, when combined with the Member’s monthly Income and any other payment, exceeds 100% of the Member’s Pre-Disability Income.
A reduction will not be made to the amount of a Disability Benefit if the other payment received is:
22 Policy Document Life Protection, Total and Permanent Disablement & Salary Continuance Policy No. MP 9959 & MP 9961
a lump sum (or part of a lump sum) paid as compensation for pain and suffering, or the loss of use of a part of the body;
a lump sum TPD Benefit.
If the estimate of the Member’s income at the time of application for cover (or an increase in cover) was not true and correct, then
the Insurer may:
reduce the amount of the Monthly Benefit to a level that does not exceed 75% of the Member’s Pre-Disability Income when combined with other Disability payments
treat the cover as null and void if the true income of the Member was so low that the Insurer would not normally consider covering them under this policy.
If the Member’s Disability Benefit is reduced because of a benefit offset, a part of the premium paid to the Insurer in the last 12
months will be refunded in proportion to the reduction of the benefit.
