ourselves on doing things very differently. The PPS Sickness and Permanent Incapacity benefit automatically qualifies members
for a notional PPS Profit-Share Account™ and is wholly tailored to graduate professionals’ highly specific lifestyles and needs.

Pregnancy-Related Sick Pay benefit (automatically included)
This breakthrough benefit for PPS members was born of research and insight into the complications our members might face during their pregnancy. The standout factor is that if a member is unable to attend to her usual duties due to sickness or a complication attributable to pregnancy, childbirth or miscarriage, PPS will pay this sickness benefit. This ensures that a member is not disadvantaged at a time when she is most vulnerable.
Sickness and Actual Business Expense benefit
When you suffer from an illness or medical condition, we cover you for up to two years while you:
- recover
- adjust your usual professional duties
- change your work methods
Permanent Incapacity
After a sickness claim has been paid for an accumulated 728 days and you are still totally or partially unable to attend to your usual professional duties, the Permanent Incapacity benefit will kick in.
NOTE: The sickness must meet the normal claims criteria i.e., it must be medically justified, the member’s benefit waiting periods (for both the Sickness and the Admission Rider benefits) apply and must be confirmed by a gynaecologist/obstetrician.
