Description: The Committee's charge was to develop new disability tables for possible adoption by appropriate authorities for valuation of individual policy reserves, i.e. active life reserves, and individual and group claim reserves for disabled lives.

This paper presents the detailed results of the committee's findings and their recommendations. From the 1985 Transactions, Vol. 37.
