Ken,
Such a question would be a welcome change. To answer your question,
disabiiity insurance payments should end with a return to
goodhealth/employability in a line
of employment to which you are suited by training, education, or experience.
The actual wording varies by insurance company to some extent. Some say
ability to perform some duties of employment...
