When physicians contact me about disability policies, they always ask what types of disability policies are available. There are two different types. But even though they’re both considered disability policies, one works in your favor while the other could force you to pay back your benefits. In this episode, you’ll discover the two types of disability policies and which one you should choose for the maximum benefit.

Episode Highlights:

• The two types of disability policies and how to pick the best one for you. (0:49)

• The “adverse selection” reason why group LTD policies restrict your benefits. (3:14)

• Why you might be forced to pay back your disability benefits if you sign up for the group LTD policy. (6:12)

• How to get paid your full disability policy, even after landing another job. (7:19)
