I'm a labour foreman and I was denied my benefits as they said I could do a sedentary job. What are my options?

I injured my back a couple of years ago in an accident outside my house and I applied for LTD Benefits.  A new claims handler took over my file and has been really aggressive and wants to send me for a functional abilities assessment. What should I do?

If someone starts a claim, how long after the case settles do they have to wait to return to work?

My brother was given short term disability after a strenuous application process but was told not to apply for LTD. He wants to give up now, what should he do?

I took some time off work due to an injury, but things went from bad to worse when I returned. I eventually lost my job.  I then applied for disability benefits and was denied. Should I appeal?

What kind of strategies does your team use to get your cases settled against the insurance companies?

My work recommended that I apply for LTD benefits, which I did, but I was denied.  The insurer said I did not qualify for benefits because I was not “continuously totally disabled through the elimination period or beyond”. Can I fight this?

If someone can only work part-time because of their disability, can they still get disability benefits?
