PaySecure - IdealIncome comparison

I have done a comparison on two of the disability insurance plans available. The information is gathered from multiple sources and from respective agents themselves. For detail explanation, you are advised to seek the help from a professional insurance advisor.

thanks for your comparison, i'm currently looking at this plan now.

Wonder if the coverage of "Receive monthly a porportion of benefit if you return to work and earn 85% or less of your pre-disability earnings" at GE is still available now in the current plan.
