If you become disabled and can no longer work, you no longer have an income (minus any passive income). Disability Insurance ensures that you will continue to receive an income while you are unable to work.

But the average long-term disability claim is 31.2 months--would your savings last that long?Answered on November 25, 2013flag this answer
