Residual Disability

Definition


Residual Disability (Canada): A condition in which, following a period of Total Disability, an insured person is able to return to work but is still demonstrably limited by the same sickness or injury so that their earnings are reduced—most commonly, earning 75% or less of their pre-disability income—while they remain under a physician’s regular care. Benefits under Canadian disability-income policies are usually paid as a partial monthly amount (a “residual” or “partial” benefit) that roughly matches the proportionate drop in earnings; provisions, definitions, and thresholds can vary by insurer and province.
