What you Need to Know About Long Term Disability

Have you been denied long term disability benefits? Call me and let's talk about whether I can help you. Insurance companies often deny benefits on the basis that there is insufficient medical evidence to support your claim. In order to be approved for LTD benefits, you have to meet what's called an own occupation test and then an any occupation test. Insufficient medical evidence could mean you either did not provide enough medical evidence to support one of the tests, or the evidence you provided does not support one of the tests.


Proving disability is not just about the evidence in support of your claim. It's also about how you and your case is presented to the insurance company and in court. I will ensure that your case is presented effectively and that you are prepared to take on the insurance company. Rely on me and my experience in the area of disability law. You have been paying a monthly premium for LTD benefits for years so that when that day comes, you have something to fall back on. Do not let the insurance company get away with not paying you when you have been paying into the system your entire career.
