The problem
What's actuallygoing wrong withyour income protection.
- 01
State disability benefits replace only part of your pay
For most households the gap between the benefit and actual expenses is significant and lasts as long as the disability.
- 02
Group coverage may stop at the office door
Employer disability plans often end when the job does, and benefits are usually taxable when the employer pays the premium.
- 03
The definition of disability matters more than the price
An own-occupation definition protects your specific profession. A weaker definition can deny a claim you expected to be covered.
- 04
Self-employed income has no safety net
Without an employer plan, an individual policy is the only thing standing between an injury and lost revenue.

What makes us apart
Disability Insurance
Protecting the income everything else depends on
Disability insurance replaces a percentage of your income when illness or injury prevents you from working. Short-term policies bridge weeks or months; long-term policies can run to retirement age.
We compare definitions of disability, elimination periods, benefit periods and riders so the policy pays in the situations you actually worry about.
Important considerations
- Own-occupation versus any-occupation definitions
- Elimination period and benefit period length
- Whether benefits are taxable
- Residual and cost-of-living riders
