What is the purpose of the rehabilitation benefit in disability insurance?

The rehabilitation benefit in disability insurance is designed specifically to cover the expenses related to retraining the insured to facilitate their return to work. This benefit recognizes that an individual who has experienced a disability may require additional training or support to regain their skills or learn new ones that are better suited to their current capabilities. The goal is to promote independence and re-employment, enabling the insured to transition back into the workforce successfully.

This benefit is crucial as it not only aids in the individual’s recovery by focusing on skill development and adaptation but also helps prevent long-term dependency on disability benefits. By providing resources for retraining, it aligns with a proactive approach to rehabilitation and integration into the labor market.
