Content: Before you get caught up in the cost, it helps to understand the various factors that insurance companies look at when assessing risk. Your age
The older you get, the more likely you are to become disabled. Naturally, the cost of disability insurance increases as you age. That’s why buying disability insurance is a smart investment for healthy young professionals. Your gender
All other factors being equal, women can pay up to 40 percent higher premiums for disability insurance. That’s because they file more claims than men and for longer time periods. ( For what it’s worth, men get the short end of the stick when paying for life insurance.) Your health history
Your health status today can foreshadow your risk of disability in the future. Insurers will take into consideration: Past or current tobacco use
Chronic conditions
Family medical history
Your current height and weight
Results from blood and urine tests
Once again, the younger and healthier you are, the better off you will be when buying.
