Yes, the wording looks a little ambiguous
I think the point is that the effect of changing the criteria will mean that certain events that would have triggered before the change may no longer do so when assessing the trigger against the more generic (less strict) definition.
The policyholder could therefore have their benefits cut to zero despite being off for the same (unchanged) reason.
Hope that helps.
Encouraging the insured to retrain would ensure that their income didn't drop to zero.
