Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

Skydiving is a high-risk activity, making Melanie a non-standard risk. Insurers typically apply a premium rating or exclusion for such activities, not denial (Chapter 7:Insurance Recommendation, Contract, and Service Needs).

Option B: Incorrect; benefit isn’t reduced, coverage is adjusted.

Option C: Correct; modification likely.

Option D: Incorrect; frequency still warrants adjustment.

Most individual disability insurance policies include atwo-year incontestability clause, after which the insurer cannot deny claims due to misrepresentations on the application, unless they involve fraud. Since Laekyn’s policy was purchased over three years ago, and assuming there was no fraudulent application, she should be eligible for benefits. The fact that her disability is related to a suicide attempt is not an automatic disqualification beyond this period unless specifically excluded by the policy. Therefore, the insurer should process her claim under the standard disability terms of the policy​​.

Harper has aFuture Purchase Option (FPO)rider on her disability insurance policy, which allows her to increase her coverage by a predetermined amount (in this case, $500) without undergoing additional medical underwriting, provided she exercises this option at specific intervals. Given her increased income, Harper wishes to increase her monthly benefit to $5,000. By exercising the FPO, she can automatically add $500 to her current benefit, raising it from $2,500 to $3,000 without medical underwriting. To reach her desired benefit of $5,000, she would need an additional $2,000. For this portion, she would need to go through medical underwriting as it exceeds the FPO amount​​. Thus, option D is correct, as it accurately reflects the process and options available to Harper under the LLQP guidelines for utilizing the FPO rider along with additional underwriting for further increases.

Constantin's primary financial risk remains theloss of income, as his substantial mortgage and recent history of debt accumulation due to a prolonged period of unemployment suggest a potential vulnerability if he were to lose his income again. Despite his current stable income, any future job loss would significantly impact his ability to meet his financial obligations, including mortgage payments, which could lead to another round of financial strain. The LLQP materials highlight that maintaining a stable income is crucial, particularly for individuals with high financial responsibilities, such as a mortgage​. Although other risks like unexpected expenses, debt, and a lower standard of living are relevant, the direct consequence of losing his income would exacerbate these risks, making income loss the most critical concern.
