A disability premium waiver can suspend specified premiums when its contractual disability definition and conditions are met.
The distinction that matters
It is a premium benefit rather than an automatic replacement income or lump-sum disability payment.
What to check
- Check disability definitions and waiting periods.
- Identify which premiums are waived.
- Review evidence and continuation requirements.
Example to discuss
An insured person unable to do their usual job checks whether the waiver definition uses that occupation or a broader work test.
This is a hypothetical comparison, not a customer claim or a determination of cover.
