What do you understand by a long-term disability appeal?
A long-term disability appeal is filed by a disability lawyer in response to an LTD application that has been denied or the insurer has cut off the benefits. There is an option for appealing the decision in the documentation which states that the disability has been denied. However, an appeal is not a formal or a legal ruling on long-term disability benefits. When you file an appeal it is sent back to the same party who denied you the appeal. The arguments you put forward in an appeal will help you to qualify for long-term disability, but in the end, it is the decision of the insurer.
What are the advantages of an LTD Appeal?
One of the main advantages of appealing is that it will help to make a stronger case for yourself. For this, it is always better to have a disability lawyer by your side. It helps to lend credibility.
What are the disadvantages of an LTD Appeal?
LTD Appeal has both advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that the same party will be making a decision, the one that denied your appeal. In a lot of cases, there is an incentive that is attached to the denial. This helps ensure that the appeal doesn’t work, it is especially true with private insurance companies. As there is no neutral party, everything is done by the insurer themselves. The insurer can do whatever they want and have no repercussions for it.
