Albert fell down a staircase and fractured his leg. He was immobilized for three months as his
leg was in a cast. He received disability benefits from his individual disability policy for two
months following the waiting period of one month. He had creditor disability insurance on
his credit card, but the credit card company did not consider Albert disabled.
What definition of disability governed his creditor disability insurance?
a) Own occupation
b) Regular occupation
c) Any occupation
d) Total disability - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- (correct) Total disability
Rationale:
Total disability is the definition used by CPP. It defines total disability as the inability to
perform the functions of any occupation for which the insured is suited by education or
experience. It also entails that the insured will never recover and be able to return to
employment and, in fact, will likely eventually die from the cause of the disability. Such a
drastic definition is seldom used in individual or group disability insurance (DI) policies but
may be found more often in creditor insurance coverage. (Refer to Section 2.2.3.3)
