Most of the above enhancements will apply to all benefits, including IP.  However, members will only be able to action the Continuation Option if they are currently claiming or have had a claim at any time against their IP cover, where the policy owner has selected to further enhance their scheme's IP Continuation Option provisions for an additional cost. When selected, the benefit payment period under the new individual retail policy will be reduced by any claim period that has already been paid to the member under the Corporate Solutions policy for the same or a related illness or injury. They will be able to claim the full benefit period for any new illness or injury.

*if a benefit is accelerated, limits may apply.
