Applying for disability insurance is like applying for a mortgage, the lender is considering
you as a risk based on your good credit, steady income, and certain other factors.

What happens if your credit report is not as good as it should be?
The lender will have questions and charge you more in interest or tell you they won’t make you a loan at all.
What happens if your income has not been steady?
More reason why you will not get the best interest rate.
It’s the same with applying for disability insurance.
If you’re being treated medically for a condition or taking prescription drugs for an underlying medical issue, you can expect
an offer with an exclusion or exclusions, modified or restricted benefits, or require an additional premium charge.
