New Study Shows Disability Rising Among Workers
New Study Shows Disability Rising Among Workers
Know the leading cause of long-term disability?
According to the 2008 Long-Term Disability Claims Review conducted by the Council for Disability Awareness (CDA), it’s musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders, such as back pain, joint pain and muscle disorders.
Surprised? Here are a few other eye-opening facts from the survey:
• Disability is on the rise—thanks in part to the current recession.
• Commercial disability insurers reported nearly $8 billion in ongoing disability insurance payments to disabled individuals last year.
• Applications for the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) surged 5.9 percent to 2.3 million in 2008 . . . and early reports predict a 23 percent increase in 2010.
With only 38 percent of the SSDI claims approved in 2008, industry experts advise that the responsibility of understanding the risk of disability and how to plan for an income-limiting illness or disability is shifting to American workers, particularly during the current difficult economic environment.
Fortunately, you can learn more about the realities and consequences of becoming disabled as well as access a number of disability-awareness resources on the CDA’s comprehensive Web site, . Not only does it offer a wealth of information, real-life stories, facts, figures and tips, it also features:
• Personal Disability Quotient (PDQ) a free-of-charge, first-of-its-kind online calculator that asks a few simple questions to quantify your risk of becoming disabled—and then helps you proactively manage that risk with practical, easy-to-implement tips.
• An Online Financial Review that can help you estimate what your income and expenses might look like during a disability, and provide you with a guide for developing a specific action plan.
