Disability Income Insurance
Disability Income Insurance is an insurance product that is designed to replace your income in the event that you become disabled and unable to work.
Disability Income Insurance can cover for disabilities due to an illness or an accident (or both).
Upon satisfying the definition of disability in the policy, the insurance company will pay the insured person a pre-determined monthly amount. The insured person can use these funds however they wish.
