#1 Whether or not you can afford the monthly payments. Some people get a quote and find out that it is so affordable to have this type of coverage they wonder why they never bought a policy sooner. The peace of mind provided by a disability policy can make it completely worth your while to purchase a policy as soon as you have the financial means to do so.
#2 Whether you want coverage to last you for a specified number of years or coverage to last you until your retirement age. Depending upon your current age you will have some different options when it comes to a disability policy. Some policies provide you with coverage up until you are eligible for Social Security benefits while other policies explicitly limit the number of years you will receive monthly payments to a specified term.
