Understand that when you apply for disability benefits, you automatically have certain rights. This includes the right to receive an explanation if and when your claim for coverage is denied by the insurance company.
During the claims process, we will review all the paperwork the insurance company throws at you and explain everything it contains in clear and precise terms so you know exactly what you are signing.
What is disabled in the eyes of the government? An attorney who specializes in Social Security disability can explain that you must not be able to do what you did before your injury or illness. Additionally, you can't be able to perform other work, and your condition must be expected to last at least a year.
We realize that no one sets out to provide their long-term disability insurance provider with bad information on their claim forms. Since this is the fastest way to have your claim denied, you may want to work with an attorney to ensure you have everything in order.
When people have their social security disability claims initially denied, they can appeal the denial at several different levels. Claimants are advised to learn everything they can about the appeal process, but their appeals would be handled best by a qualified social security disability attorney.
Filing a long-term disability claim requires a lot of paperwork, and it must be complete and correct to get the benefits you're requesting. An attorney who specializes in long-term disability claims can help you make sure you're filing the right forms and have the evidence you require to substantiate your claim.
