What’s so Special About Specialty Your Occupation?
Regular Occupation
Regular Occupation means your usual
occupation (or occupations if more than
one) in which you are gainfully employed
at the time you become disabled.
If you are not gainfully employed at time
of disability, for policies with both regular
occ and Specialty Your Occ language,
regular occupation means any
occupation for which you are reasonably
fitted by your education, training or
experience.
Specialty Your Occ
Same Regular Occupation definition with the
addition of:
We will consider the material and substantial
duties performed including those of a
professionally recognized specialty in medicine or
dentistry immediately prior to you becoming
disabled as the material/substantial duties of your
regular occupation.
