Overview
Understanding Mortgage Disability Insurance
Mortgage disability insurance is intended to cover your mortgage payments if you become unable to work due to illness or injury. These policies provide crucial income support by helping you stay in your home during a period of income loss.
Types of Mortgage Disability Insurance
- Group policies offered through lenders or financial institutions when the mortgage is arranged
- Private policies purchased directly from an insurance provider, often as part of a larger insurance package
Despite its purpose, mortgage disability insurance claims may be denied for reasons such as alleged pre-existing conditions, misrepresentation on the insurance application, and more.
