I got told that once I am approved for social security disability I won’t get the back pay Lincoln financial will. Can they do that?

Shannon, if they paid you a benefit during the period of time that SSA is sending a back benefit check for your SSDI, then yes, it would be an offset under the policy and Lincoln would have a right to repayment.
