Consumer Protection Act | Maturity Payment Does Not Extinguish Pending Disability Benefit Claims: NCDRC

This sets a critical precedent for policyholders with long-term disability claims, ensuring procedural fairness and preventing insurers from using settlement payments as a loophole to avoid liability.
