5 Myths About Long-term Disability

False. Most appeals do not work. When your claim is cut off or denied, the insurance company will encourage you to use their internal appeals process. You are asking the very same people who denied your long-term disability claim in the first place to change their mind! Insurance companies are banking on you appealing, and getting rejected over and over again until you give up. The appeals process can take months or years, and drag out the process until you run out of time to seek our help.

Insurance companies will provide you with many excuses for not paying out on long-term disability claims. They will suggest that you are not totally disabled, do not have enough medical support, or are disqualified because of a pre-existing condition. Your insurer will deny your appeals, and ignore your protests. Based on our experience, insurance companies HATE legal claims. It costs them money to fight our team. We resolve disability disputes quickly and efficiently by focusing on the insurer’s vulnerabilities.

NO! There are strict deadlines for starting a legal claim for disability payments. You have two years from the moment of denial to file a claim against the insurance company. Your insurer will push you towards their internal appeals process in an attempt to run out the clock on legal action. Don’t let that happen!
