Life insurance payment issued after the insured has been disabled for at least six months. One percent of the face value of the policy is paid the insured as a monthly income benefit and premiums are waived for the duration of the disability. A disability income rider can be attached to an ordinary life insurance policy to provide this disability income benefit at extra charge. The insured can have a wavier of premium benefit without a disability income benefit, but cannot have the disability income benefit without the waiver of premiums benefit.
