It can be used for mortgages, car payments, debt, etc. Many people often think, "Well I won't get hurt at my job," but in reality, 90% of disabilities are caused by an illness, not by an injury.Answered on September 19, 2013flag this answer- 2180 POINTSview profileKelly MoserSocial Media Strategist, Disability Insurance Services, CaliforniaDisability Insurance pays a benefit to the insured in the event that he cannot work due to being disabled from an illness or injury. The payment is typically 60-65% of one's income. The benefit period (how long you'll receive payments) can go all the way up to retirement, depending on the type of policy you have.Answered on September 25, 2013flag this answer
