the good thing about it is its less money out of your outside life insurance policy to pay off your mtg.
so, your beneficiary would get more money in the end b/c the outside life policy for your mtg would pay off your mtg, but it also depends on how much they are charging you per month for it.
definitely shop around and check out the requirements.
you want to also evaluate your current life situation. if you are single no spouse or kids, then just get an one policy thru one insurance agent to cover everything. but if you have a spouse or kids, i would heavily consider (again pay attention to requirements and cost) buying the life policy thru your mtg holder.
can't say much about disability b/c again my company doesn't offer it, however, i do have a few mtg's in my collection que right now that aren't working b/c they hurt themselves and are on WCB.
you just never know what can happen....thats all i'm sayin.

Read the book "Russian Roulette" and you will never look at DI coverage the same way again!!! Your health is your wealth and it is a living benefit that some would argue is more important vs life insurance and should not be ignored as the stats will tell you between ages 18 and 65, 1 in every 3 will have some sort of DI and the average length is 2.9 years so can you afford to take a 3 year vacation without pay! This is an area that you don't want to cheap out in and you need to build a financial wall around your family that nothing can get to....OP likely has DI with his work but it is still worth looking at a top up if the debt or needs warrant it...and the wordings and coverage are also often better with indiv.plans.
