Can I add income protection premiums from 2 financial institutions together for code 4018?



My place of work gives us an income protection policy. On SARS eFiling this is reflected under code 3808 however I have to manually enter it under code 4018. I also privately have an income protection policy from a different financial institution. Do I just add my contributions together and fill it in at 4018? Will SARS allow that or is there a limit in the amount that can be deducted?
