Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is C. Waives the typical total disability requirements

Explanation
Option A: Increases the monthly benefits stated in the policy

This option is incorrect because the presumptive disability provision does not directly increase the monthly benefits. Instead, it focuses on the conditions under which benefits are paid.

Option B: Reduces the incontestability period

This option is incorrect because the incontestability period is a separate clause in insurance policies that limits the time during which an insurer can contest the validity of a policy. The presumptive disability provision does not affect this period.

Option C: Waives the typical total disability requirements

This option is correct. The presumptive disability provision typically waives the standard requirements for proving total disability. It automatically considers certain severe conditions, such as loss of sight, hearing, or limbs, as total disabilities, thus ensuring that the insured receives benefits without having to meet the usual criteria.

Option D: Assumes all injuries result in total disability

This option is incorrect because the presumptive disability provision does not assume all injuries result in total disability. It specifically applies to certain severe conditions that are predefined in the policy.
