Total Permanent Disability (TPD) is a phrase used in the insurance industry and in law. Generally speaking, it means that because of a sickness or injury, a person is unable to work in their own or any occupation for which they are suited by training, education, or experience. An individual or group of individuals can insure themselves against it through a disability insurance policy, as part of a life insurance package or through worker's compensation insurance.

Ballentine's Law Dictionary defines a permanent disability is one that "will remain with a person throughout" his or her lifetime, or he or she will not recover, or "that in all possibility, will continue indefinitely." Insurance companies often have slightly different definitions of what determines permanent disability. However typical definitions would include:
Loss of two of: Eyes, Arms, or Legs. Absence from work for six months due to an accident or illness, without expectation of returning to work.

Under no fault insurance law, New York defines significant injury as including a permanent loss of use.

For higher sums insured, additional medical verification including blood tests and reports from doctors is usually required.
