Disability Law FAQs
My disability benefits were denied or cut off. What should I do?
Act quickly and avoid trying to “patch” the claim with random documents. A strong response is organized and evidence-led, focusing on functional limitations and medical support. Unified’s long-term disability lawyers can review what happened and outline next steps.
Why do insurers deny disability claims?
Common reasons include “insufficient medical evidence,” disputes over restrictions, missed paperwork, surveillance, or insurer medical exams. Denials often come down to how the evidence is presented and whether it clearly supports the policy’s disability definition.
What evidence helps strengthen a disability claim?
Clear medical documentation that explains restrictions, treatment history, prognosis, and how symptoms limit work capacity. Consistency matters—especially when records tie limitations directly to job duties and daily function.
How is short-term disability different from long-term disability?
Short-term disability generally covers a limited period, while long-term disability is designed for extended inability to work and often has a stricter “any occupation” test later on. If you need guidance, Unified’s short-term disability lawyer in Toronto page provides a useful starting point.
