Under the definition of Total Disability as "Insured's own occupation," what triggers the payment of benefits?

If they cannot perform any work
If they are partially disabled
If they are unable to perform duties in their current occupation
If they are unable to perform functions of their own occupation

The correct answer is: If they are unable to perform functions of their own occupation

The definition of Total Disability as "Insured's own occupation" means that benefits are triggered when the insured is unable to perform the specific duties of their own occupation. This form of coverage recognizes the unique skills and responsibilities associated with a particular job. Therefore, if an individual can't fulfill their professional roles—such as completing tasks, making critical decisions, or engaging with clients—their benefits would be activated under this definition. While other options may address broader or different aspects of disability, they do not align as closely with the specialized nature of "own occupation." For example, being unable to perform any work in general does not consider the specifics of one’s current occupation. Similarly, partial disability doesn't meet the threshold for total disability benefits as defined in this context.
