### What are the main reasons people claim on their Income Protection Insurance?

In 2019 over $33 million dollars in claims were paid out each day by the Australian Life Insurance industry.

- **Accident** is the top cause of claims across men (24%) and women (28%)
- **Mental Health** was only number 5 on the list for men (10%) but a clear second for women (22%).

Unfortunately the trend for these figures to continue to rise post COVID19 pandemic.
