Does Social Security Approval Guarantee Private Disability Insurance Benefits?

Disability Insurance Attorneys Gregory Dell and Cesar Gavidia discuss the misconception that a claimant will be approved for long term disability insurance benefits if social security disability benefits are approved.

In most cases this is a true statement, but we have been seeing a lot of people approved for SSDI benefits and then denied Long Term Disability benefits. This trend is frustrating and inconsistent as it is the disability insurance companies that often make a claimant apply for SSDI benefits.

Approximatley 72% of the people receiving LTD benefits are also approved for social security disability benefits.
