Stigma associated with chronic illness and disability:
Illness is simply a poor state of health. Disease is an "abnormal condition affecting a body" Disability is an impairment of body function or structure that restricts normal functioning. None of them are as specific as most people think, and they're often interchangeable.
Every disease is an illness but not every illness is a disease (A disease is not a virus, parasite, etc but an illness could be)
The difference between disease and illness is that a disease is something that can consume your whole body and it is often things like cancer, ALS and many other things. An illness is short lived, often like a cold.
A vaccine protects against a future illness. An antiserum treats a current illness.

Not necessarily. Temporary disability benefits are typically paid for short periods of time while an individual is recovering from an injury or illness. Long-term disability benefits may be a separate coverage with different eligibility criteria and coverage terms. It is possible for an insurance company to offer short-term and long-term disability insurance as separate policies.
