Question

Do you take Group Disability cases?

Asked on August 21st 2023 by Alex
What I am owed provided I can’t get anything for the pain and stress of the 15 month battle with Prudential is minimal - around $ 17500. They are cutting me off in September 2023 because of my age.
I have applied for social security but have no decision yet, most of my work was in the uk and I am some quarters short. This is at present under consideration with SS. But I haven’t proceeded with surgery for the carpal tunnel because I want to do it under Medicare, which I won’t get unless I get Social Security.

Alex, we do handle Group Disability Insurance claims. However, I must point out that the ERISA laws that govern most group disability policies do not allow you to recover for the pain and stress caused by a battle with the insurance company. They are likely only on the hook for the monthly disability benefits that they should be paying you. If they are not paying you or if you believe they are denying your claim prematurely, please feel free to contact at your earliest convenience. We always offer free consultations.
