Disability Insurance There is nothing complicated about disability insurance it is purely an insurance that will cover you for loss of earning in the event you are unable to work through disability. There are a wide range of products on the market some of which would be of little benefit in the event of a disability claim. It is well worth shopping around for your disability insurance to make sure you get maximum benefits for the best possible price Disability insurance. You can get two basic types of disability insurance, short-term (maximum benefit two years) and long- term (which can be full life). Disability insurance is very akin to long-term care and life insurance in that you are looking at a policy that you will keep for a long period of time and therefore you need to ensure you select the best possible disability insurance, to suit your needs, right from the outset.

However, for those with little in the way of accessible financial assets and those who have a family to support is it really worth the risk of not having disability insurance?
