You have my sympathy. In August of 2003 I left work due to Multiple Sclerosis. Initially, my claims fell under short term disability, and everything was fine. The minute I fell under long term, trouble started. They wanted independent physician reviews, psychological evaluations, work studies, etc. I participated in each and every request, and would receive an approval for 30 days, then would have to go through the review process all over again.

During this time, I also applied for Social Security Disability and was approved for benefits. Aetna still refused to certify me. I went 6 months without a check from Aetna. For 3 years this recertification game continued. I persevered and now, after 3 years of their nonsense, I have been certified for a year. However, in 12 months I'll have to be reviewed again.

Good luck. They are absolutely heartless and will do whatever they need to do to hang onto "their" money as long as they can.

Insurance companies may refuse legitimate claims for long term disability benefits

AUTHOR: SonjaKathryna - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, May 24, 2012

Hi, my name is Sonja, & Im with the disability rights group from Sokolove Law.  We have been reviewing thousands of potential claims where insurance companies refuse long-term disability benefits to someone who has a legitimate claim. Too often, legitimate claims are denied because insurance companies look for every possible legal and technical angle available that will allow them to deny a valid claim. When an insurer does not live up to its end of the contract, they act on what is called bad faith.  

For folks interested in learning more about bad faith practices of insurance companies, there is great information available at http://awe.sm/5o82i. If your claim has been rejected, I want you to know your rights and options. Call our office toll-free at 800-581-6943 to learn about your options and receive a free legal consultation.
