Severe disability can result from a sudden event, like a stroke or serious accident. It
could also be caused by progressive worsening or complications of chronic illnesses
such as diabetes, or physical weakness due to ageing.
Let's take a look at the top three causes of severe disability based on
new claims Aviva processed from 1 January 2018 to 30 June 2020.
While health issues like stroke and cancer are more common during the advanced
years of life, there's no denying that they can affect anyone, regardless of age.

But by having adequate coverage for your needs from your 30s,
you'll have less worries about long-term care financing, whether
you're afflicted by severe disability during your working years or
retirement years.
Care that goes further
and caters for unknowns
When it comes to securing adequate long-term care coverage, you need a plan that
goes further. One that doesn’t set a deadline for your recovery or ignore the effects
of inflation on your long-term care needs. Because long-term care can be
unpredictable with many unknowns...

We’ve got a plan that truly cares and will support you for the long haul.
Launch of CareShield Life
To help you prepare better for long-term care costs, the government has accepted
the recommendations of the ElderShield Review Committee to enhance the existing
ElderShield scheme into the new “CareShield Life”* scheme.
All Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents born between 1980 and 1990 (aged
30 to 40 in 2020) are automatically covered under CareShield Life which gives monthly
payouts to help cover expenses in the event of a severe disability. For those born in
1991 and after (aged below 30 in 2020), they will be automatically covered upon turning
30 years old.
Under both CareShield Life and ElderShield, you’re considered to be severely disabled
if you’re unable to perform at least 3 of the 6 Activities of Daily Living3 (ADL).

Additional care benefits
Other than the monthly benefit5 to support your daily needs, we understand that
you may also need additional financial support.
You may need to modify your home to make it safer to move around, such as installing
grab bars in the bathroom. You may also require a dedicated caregiver to ensure your
daily needs are met. Meanwhile, your school-going children may still need your
financial support.
Hence, we’ve added these benefits for MyLongTermCare and MyLongTermCare Plus.
