"20 years ago, the works council made us aware of the company disability insurance (BU). We then included it in our company pension scheme – out of conviction, not obligation.
We are not proud, but grateful that we have been able to help many colleagues during difficult times over the years. Because that’s what it's all about for us: being there for each other when it matters most."
I have been competently and goal-orientedly supported by Mr. Poppe and his team for many years in the areas of company pension schemes and health insurance. The collaboration is always friendly and reliable. Highly recommended!

In the past year, there must not have been any continuous sick leave longer than 14 days. If there has been a longer illness, the insurer will not accept the application. The offer must be accepted by all “Wiltmänner” within the next 12 months. Therefore, it’s advisable to schedule a consultation as soon as possible.
What is disability insurance (BU)?
Disability insurance is a form of coverage that pays out if the insured person is unable to work in their profession for more than 6 months (with a good contract) due to physical, psychological, or mental problems. In less comprehensive contracts, this may also include being unable to perform a comparable occupation to more than 50%.
Why is taking out the insurance through your employer more advantageous?
Wiltmann has negotiated special conditions with insurers through KPFM. Additionally, the employer pays a subsidy of 20%.
What advantages does an insurance broker offer?
An insurance broker is appointed by the employer, not the insurance company. By law, they must negotiate on behalf of their client. In contrast, an insurance agent serves the interests of their insurance company.
What happens if you change employers?
The contract can be continued privately or transferred to the next employer.
Why are there fewer claim denials through KPFM?
The main cause of claim denials is the health questions. If no health questions are asked, there is less ground for a denial.
What sets this disability insurance (BU) apart from others?
Unlike other disability coverages, such as accident insurance or basic ability insurance, the benefits of disability insurance (BU) do not depend solely on the degree of physical impairment.
Is there a statutory disability insurance?
No, only for people born before January 2, 1961. For everyone else, protection is provided under reduced earning capacity benefits.
How is the amount of the insurance premium determined?
The insurance premium depends on various factors, including the age and health condition of the insured person, the desired coverage amount, and specific contract terms.
What role do substitution clauses (Verweisungsklauseln) play in disability insurance (BU)?
Substitution clauses (Verweisungsklauseln) determine if and to what extent the insurer can require the insured to take on another job that matches their qualifications and social status. Good insurers waive these clauses. In such cases, the insurer must pay benefits even if such an alternative job would theoretically be possible.
What tax aspects should be considered with disability insurance (BU)?
The tax treatment of disability insurance benefits depends on whether it is a private insurance or a tax-advantaged insurance policy.
How does disability insurance (BU) affect retirement planning?
Disability insurance (BU) also supports retirement planning by providing financial assistance in case of disability, thereby helping to maintain your standard of living in old age.
Can disability insurance (BU) be taken out as a supplementary insurance?
Yes, disability insurance (BU) can be taken out either as a supplementary insurance to a life or pension insurance (disability rider, BUZ) or as a standalone disability insurance (SBU). However, consumer protection agencies often advise against the standalone option.
What are the most common causes of disability (Berufsunfähigkeit)?
Disability can be caused by a variety of factors, with illnesses accounting for the largest share. Compared to diseases such as mental health issues, cardiovascular conditions, or musculoskeletal disorders, accidents are a less common cause of disability.
Who pays the premiums?

You can cancel at any time, effective from the beginning of the second following month.
