Nikolai should inform his insureras soon as he receives his diagnosis. Prompt notification is crucial as it ensures that his claim process can begin, including the assessment of eligibility,documentation, and verification. Additionally, reporting the diagnosis early helps the insurer monitor his waiting period of four months and plan for benefit payments starting at the end of this period. LLQP materials recommend early communication with the insurer to avoid delays in claim processing.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Marc earns $60,000/year ($5,000/month), and Veronique earns $15,000/year ($1,250/month), totaling $6,250
/month. Their expenses are $3,000/month. As the primary earner, Marc's disability poses the greatest risk (Chapter 6:Client Profile).

If Veronique is disabled: Marc's $5,000 covers $3,000.
$3,000/month for Marc (60% of his income) plus Veronique's $1,250 totals $4,250, exceeding $3,000.
