Understand the Life Disability-Morbidity Risk Simplification

Overview

This calculator implements the simplified capital requirement for Life Disability-Morbidity Risk within the Solvency II standard formula.[1] It uses prepared CAR<sub>1</sub> and CAR<sub>2</sub> inputs with the Article 93 parameters for disability rates, termination, and payment duration.

Input Terms

  • Capital at Risk During Next 12 Months (CAR1): The prepared total positive capital at risk exposed to disability-morbidity incidence during the next 12 months. Life Disability-Morbidity CAR1 / CAR2 Capital at Risk calculates one contract or prepared slice; this calculator does not calculate the portfolio sum.[1]
  • Average Disability-Morbidity Rate During Next 12 Months (d1): The average disability-morbidity rate for the next 12 months.[1]
  • Capital at Risk After 12 Months (CAR2): The prepared total positive capital at risk exposed to disability-morbidity incidence after the first 12 months. Life Disability-Morbidity CAR1 / CAR2 Capital at Risk can be used for one after-12-month contract or slice, but the total remains an input here.[1]
  • Average Disability-Morbidity Rate in Following 12 Months (d2): The average disability-morbidity rate for the following 12-month period.[1]
  • Modified Duration of Disability Payments (n): The modified duration of disability benefit payments included in the best estimate.[1]
  • Expected Termination Rate During Next 12 Months (t): The expected termination rate for disability benefits during the next 12 months.[1]
  • Best Estimate of Disability-Sensitive Obligations (BEdis): The best estimate of obligations exposed to disability-morbidity risk.[1]

Technical Rationale

Article 93 approximates disability-morbidity capital using prepared CAR<sub>1</sub> and CAR<sub>2</sub>, disability rates, expected termination, and duration-based factors.[1] The result is the simplified disability-morbidity component before aggregation in Life Risk.

Important Notes

  • Applicability: The simplified formula is intended for portfolios where the Article 93 parameters reasonably represent the disability-morbidity exposure.[1]
  • Gross vs. Net SCR: This simplification estimates the standalone Life Disability-Morbidity Risk SCR. Solvency II risk is only finalized as a net impact on Basic Own Funds after diversification in Life Risk, then within BSCR, and after the top-level LAC TP and LAC DT adjustments.
  • Regulatory deviation: Material deviation from the standard-formula assumptions or from the conditions supporting this simplification may support a capital add-on or a move toward a fuller or internal-model approach where justified.[2]
  • Reporting: The simplified result is intended to support the corresponding standard-formula component for the S.25.01.01 standard-formula reporting view, not to replace the full article-based result where the simplification is not justified.[3]
