Probably not, unless you can show that your condition prevents you from performing your job duties, and your policy disability definition is an "own occupation" definition. Chances are that your color blindness allows you to work in many different occupations.

Can you get disability insurance if you have pre injury?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, you can still qualify to get disability insurance even if you had injuries or illnesses before. Depending on the status of your injury, it may be covered by a new disability insurance policy, or excluded. If your injury is excluded, it may still be covered in the future if you show improvements and are no longer affected by the old injury. You will have to ask the insurance company to remove the exclusion

Who is a logical candidate for disability insurance?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can get disability coverage after a disability under certain conditions. It depends upon the cause of your disability and how long you have been recovered. Each carrier has different underwriting standards.

Some insurers will offer a guaranteed issue to employer groups. Your ability to get coverage will depend upon the required percentage of eligible employees electing coverage.

Obtaining private disability insurance after sustaining a disability may be more tricky, because disability insurance is medically underwritten. From the insurer's perspective, it does not have the same "law of large numbers" with an individual policy (because only one person is insured), as it does in a group disability policy. In most cases, the initial disability will be ridered (meaning that there will be no coverage for it, and perhaps, related causes).

How much are long term disability premiums on average?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Disability premiums will cost about 2-3% of your income on average. it is hard to answer with an exact number, since it depends on your age, occupation, duties, health, your choice of long term or short term benefits, etc.

2-3% of income is the accepted average premium cost in disability insurance.

The rates can greatly vary from company to company and your age and health are important factors. Also, if you apply for additional riders (benefits) rates can vary even more. I would request a quote that includes ALL riders with details and see what works for you! Be well.

Can you have multiple disability insurance?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can, however check the policy provisions to make sure that one does not off set the other should you go out on claim.

For information, resources and related links go The National Council On Disability (NCD)

Yes. Signing up for or applying for a disability insurance policy is basically the same as asking the insurance company to make you an offer for coverage. There is nothing that says you are not able to apply to multiple companies at the same time. In fact, in some cases it is a good idea to apply with multiple carrier so that you can see which company offers you a better policy and price.

Over what period of time can you collect short term disability?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Long term disability benefits may be a benefit of employment, or provided under an individual policy purchased by the insured. In either event, the terms of the benefit will be defined in the plan or policy. These include the duration of time that the insured must be out of work, due to a disabling injury contemplated by the policy, before being entitled to payments. That period of time is called the "elimination period".

Repayment of disability social security payments to insurance company?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To begin with I too have Long Term Disability insurance payments and SSDI payments. My policy was specific as to what would happen when SSDI kicked in. My monthly payment would be reduced by the amount of SSDI. In addition I was required to submit any "lump sum checks" issued by the Social Security Administration while my claim was being processed.

Now I understand most policies work this way but until you get a copy of your policy and review it, it will be difficult to give a complete accurate answer. Hope this helps.
