Neither person in the LTCI vs self-funding debate mentioned the long waiting period for LTCI payments. The majority of LTCI plans have waiting periods of at least 9 months. This time interval is measured from the date of need (as determined via written medical opinion). A longer waiting period (15 months, for example) would result in a lower LTCI premium.
The important issue is the survival rate from the “date of need” to the “date of payment.” This is often fairly low, meaning your chances of needing it decline because your risk of dying is higher - especially if you choose a 15- or 24-month waiting period.
