Why it matters
Without this rider, a serious disability that stops your income could also cause a life insurance policy to lapse right when the coverage matters most.

Waiver of Premium Rider
A waiver of premium rider is an optional policy add-on that waives future premium payments if the policyholder becomes disabled, keeping the policy in force.
Example
Someone concerned about a disability affecting their ability to pay premiums might add this rider when the policy is issued, since it's often not available to add later.
Common mistake
A common mistake is assuming disability automatically pauses life insurance premiums -- without this specific rider, payments generally still need to be made.
