Correct Answer
B. DeafnessExplanation
An example of a presumptive disability would be deafness because it is a condition that can be easily identified and diagnosed without the need for extensive medical testing or evaluation. Deafness can be determined through simple hearing tests and is often apparent based on an individual's inability to hear or respond to auditory stimuli. Unlike conditions such as stroke, diabetes, or cancer, which may require more complex diagnostic procedures and medical examinations to confirm, deafness is a more straightforward and easily recognizable disability.Rate this question:

The factor used most often when underwriting a disability income policy is
- A.
Annual earnings
- B.
Sex of the insured
- C.
Marital status
- D.
Occupation
Correct Answer
A. Annual earningsExplanation
Underwriting a disability income policy involves assessing the risk and determining the premium for the policy. The factor used most often in this process is the annual earnings of the insured individual. This is because the amount of income they earn directly affects their ability to pay the premiums and the potential benefit amount they may receive in the event of a disability. Higher annual earnings may indicate a higher income potential and thus a higher premium and benefit amount. Therefore, annual earnings play a crucial role in underwriting a disability income policy.Rate this question:
