On This Episode

Chapter 1 

What should you do when you’re on LTD and the insurance company is pushing you to go back to work but you’re your doctors say you’re not ready?

We were contacted by a woman who worked as a bank employee and was off on disability due to stress and severe depression. The insurance company is forcing her to go back to work when her doctors say she is not yet ready to return. What can she do?

 

Chapter 2 

Can the insurance company deny a claim because “they’ve already spent enough money on me”?

We received a submission on our website from a 55-year-old man that will be cut off LTD by the end of the month. His doctors have told him that he cannot go back to work yet. The insurance company told him that they have “spent enough money” on him. Would this be a valid reason for cutting someone off LTD?

 

Chapter 3 

3 ways to make your LTD disability claim stronger

1-    Get a proper referral to a proper specialist

2-    Make sure your doctor continues to send enough medical information to the insurance company

3-    Make sure you comply with all treatments prescribed by your doctor

 

Chapter 4 

What do you do when the insurance company sends you to one of their doctors for an assessment and their conclusion contradicts with your doctor’s recommendation?

 

Chapter 5

Can a disabled person be on LTD for longer than two years?

My LTD just ended after 24 months. My adjuster says that almost every claim ends after 2 years, but I have a friend that has been on LTD for 6 years. My policy states that I can continue being on LTD if I can't do any work. I struggle with PTSD after the death of my mother. Most days I can’t get out of bed let alone go back to work. What can I do? 

Chapter 6

How long should it take for an LTD case to settle?

We received an email from a woman whose LTD was cut off. Her support was cut off a few weeks ago and she spoke to two lawyers who said it would take at least a few years to settle her case. She has a degenerative neurological condition and her doctors are unequivocal that she cannot return to work. Should it take that long to settle an LTD case?

 

Chapter 7

Can the things that I post on social media affect my claim or reduce its worth? 

 

Chapter 8 

Should my lawyer appeal the insurance company’s decision to deny my claim?

We received an email about a woman that was denied LTD. Her lawyer appealed the decision three times and she was denied each time. Should her lawyer have appealed three times?

 

Chapter 9 

If I am let go by my employer while I’m on LTD how does this affect my claim?

 

Chapter 10 

Should an LTD claim take over 4 years to resolve?

I had an LTD claim a few years ago that another lawyer handled. The claim took 4.5 years to settle. My friend had a similar issue that your firm resolved in a few months. Should an LTD claim take over 4 years to resolve?
