Usually insurance companies will only cover the insured until age 70. This is because elders tend to have high risk exposure of broken limbs after fall down.

​

Old Age Disability (OAD) is a supplement to Disability which covers until age 100. Definition as follows:

 

Any Disability suffered by the Life Assured, after attaining the age of sixty five (65), as a result of an Accident or sickness such that in the opinion of two (2) Physicians or two (2) Medical Practitioners appointed by the Company, the Life Assured cannot then or at any time thereafter ever perform at least three (3) out of six (6) Activities of Daily Living as defined above without the assistance of another person, provided that such Disability be evidenced for a minimum period of six (6) consecutive months.

Most of the Disability attached inside an insurance plan shares the same amount as the Life Protection. However, only minor plans have option to cover additional amount separated from the Life Protection amount.
