Understand the Health Income Protection Disability-Morbidity Risk

Overview

Article 156 defines the Health Income Protection Disability-Morbidity Risk stresses for disability, morbidity, recovery, and persistency assumptions.[1]

Input Terms

  • Current Disability/Morbidity Rate - Next 12 Months: Representative rate used for disability or morbidity experience in the following 12 months.[1]
  • Current Disability/Morbidity Rate - Later Years: Representative rate used for disability or morbidity experience after the following 12 months.[1]
  • Current Recovery Rate: Representative recovery rate.[1]
  • Current Persistency Rate: Representative persistency rate.[1]

Technical Rationale

Article 156 captures income-protection morbidity risk through claim inception, claim duration, and policy persistence.[1] Higher disability or morbidity rates increase the probability of benefits becoming payable, lower recovery rates extend the claim duration, and higher persistency can keep adverse obligations in force.

The threshold conditions on recovery and persistency prevent the shock from being applied where the legal article does not treat those rates as adverse. The displayed assumptions preserve the separate drivers so the valuation model can measure the basic-own-funds effect for the scoped income-protection obligations.

Important Notes

  • This page specifies the stresses, not the final standalone Income Protection Disability-Morbidity Risk SCR.
  • Stressed assumptions apply only to income-protection obligations where the disability-morbidity scenario is adverse in the valuation model; this page does not validate that portfolio scope.
