Recovery, Recurrent and Subsequent Disability:
A recurrent disability is one in which the Insured, received monthly benefits from this insurance, then recovers and subsequently suffers a recurrence of a disability, while this policy is in force, and arises out of or is contributed to by the same cause or causes as the original period of disablement.
The Insured is deemed to have made a recovery when he/she is able to engage in his/her regular occupation and perform
the major duties thereof, even if he/she chooses not to.
If the period of recovery continues for 60 days or more, the recurrent disability shall be subject to a new elimination period.
If the period of recovery is less than 60 days, no elimination period will be imposed.
If the Insured has made a recovery and suffers a subsequent disability which is covered by this insurance and such subsequent disability is entirely unrelated to the cause of any prior disability, a new elimination period will apply.
With regard to any such recurrent or subsequent disability as insured, the Underwriters will pay the monthly benefit only for
the unused portion of the maximum benefit period not previously exhausted by payment of monthly benefit due to any
prior disability.
