Insurance companies are beginning to deny legitimate claims from Canadians who can't work due to psychological stress caused by the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Insurance providers are facing a tsunami of long term disability claims from individuals who are unable to work due to severe anxiety, depression and other psychological traumas inflicted by virus.

Disability lawyer Sivan Tumarkin, partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, joins The Rush with Ryan Doyle and Jay Michaels on Newstalk 1010 to explain why insurance companies are denying legitimate long term disability claims for COVID-19, and what you can do if your claim is denied or cut off.
