Long Term Disability by Gender, Age and Occupation

In previous posts, we have reviewed data collected by the Council for Disability Awareness related to long term disability claims.[1]  In the next few posts, we are going to look at the most recent study conducted by the Council for Disability Awareness.

To begin, here are a few of the notable trends that the study revealed regarding the gender, age and occupation of long term disability claimants:

  • The average age of long term disability claimants has increased in recent years, with the vast majority of claimants filing between the ages of 50 and 59.

  • The number of in-force individual disability policies for business management and administration, physicians and dental professional occupation categories increased, while the number of in-force policies for sales and marketing professionals decreased.
