This test applies to the first 24 months of disability (or the period set out in your policy). Total disability during this period of time means that you are unable to work at your own occupation and perform the essential duties of your job.
Total disability refers to the inability to work at any occupation. After the 24 month period, your continued eligibility for long-term disability benefits will be based on whether you are unable to perform the essential duties of any occupation for which you are reasonably qualified, or could become qualified for, by reason of education, training or experience.
It is important to read your own policy to find out what tests are applicable and when they apply.
