Whiplash
Whiplash
- Life & Critical Illness Cover – will always be standard rate decisions
- TPD – will either be standard rates or we will not be able to offer cover
The outcome will then depend on their date of diagnosis, treatment and time off work along with frequency and severity of symptoms. TPD may be affected by the applicant’s occupation, in terms of whether its occupation specific or generic activities.
This is a general guide and is not a guarantee of acceptance.
