Disability Income Insurance

Disability Income (DI) Insurance is purchased to protect clients against loss of income from an unexpected injury or illness. An individual DI insurance policy pays a monthly benefit that replaces a portion of their income in the event of a disability, so your clients can take comfort in knowing their current lifestyle is better protected from the unexpected.

The Market¹

As of 2020, the size of the Disability Insurance industry is estimated at nearly $20B, with a projected growth of only 0.5% this year. Individuals typically access disability insurance through their employer-sponsored plans, but in light of 2020's economic contraction, fewer employees results in fewer disability insurance plans being purchased. As the economy stabilizes and more individuals return to the workforce, the growth rate can begin tracking at its YOY average of 0.9% (2015-2020).

Why DPL Likes Disability Income Insurance

Your clients protect their homes and vehicles while often overlooking their most valuable asset - their ability to earn income. While many clients have emergency savings, not being able to work for several months, a year, or longer could completely exhaust those funds. Disability Income Insurance works much like an emergency fund in the event of the unexpected - if your client is too sick or hurt to work, they receive a monthly benefit, similar to a paycheck. These benefits help clients continue to pay the bills so they can focus on taking care of themselves.
