Los Angeles, California, July 6, 2007 – It was on February, 2002 when Mrs. Wrenn signed up for a long-term policy of disability insurance. It was a supplement to a insurance policy she obtained through her licensed title agent job. Right after her stroke, these policies paid up to 70% of her salary during the next six months before she was fully well to get back to work full time.
Since the premiums have not been very outrageous, Mrs. Wrenn and her husband did it even though they thought they were very young yet to be struck with illness and are secure in their jobs.
The disability insurance actually provides a replacement of the partial income being earned by a disabled person. Consequently, these payments help out for the disabled person\'s family to avoid dipping into savings, selling a home or changing their lifestyle radically just because of the illness and temporary disability that struck.
There is a large possibility for working people in America to become struck with disability rather than dying prematurely. However, people with life insurances are twice as many than those with disability coverage, according to statistics of the industry.
The Social Security Administration reports that one-third of the workers who are 20 year old presently may become disabled before they reach the retirement age of 67. Since the cause of disability is primarily because of chronic disease. There is also a large possibility of being diagnosed with problems related to muscuskeletal and cardiovascular and cancer rather than becoming victims of work-related and/or non-workplace accidents.
