    Injury means bodily injury resulting directly from an accident; and independent of disease or bodily infirmity; which occurs while You are covered under The Policy. Loss resulting from sickness or disease; or medical or surgical treatment of a sickness or disease; is not considered as resulting from Injury.

    Waiver of Premium for Disability
    If you become Totally Disabled prior to age 60 and the disability continues for six consecutive months, premiums will be waived as long as the disability continues as long as you provide such proof within one year of the date you first became disabled, up to age 70 or provide proof that you have been diagnosed with a life expectancy of 24 months or less. When your disability ends, premium payments resume.

    Disabled means You are wholly and continuously prevented from: performing any work or occupation for wage or profit for which You are reasonably qualified or trained; or if not employed, engaging in the normal activities of a person of like age and gender in good health; as a result of injury or sickness.

    If You are in an occupation that requires You to maintain a license, Your failure to pass a physical examination required to maintain that license does not alone mean that You are disabled.
