I went on short term disability in Aug. 18 2014. Due to the death of my son I recieved checks up until Oct. 13 then they just stopped. I was under Doctor’s care, I was on medication and I was seeing a therapist and they just stopped my checks because my therapist could not give them any information on me other then I was under her care. I would like to see what I can do about recieving the last 5 weeks of checks they owe me.

Maryann, you will need to appeal Lincoln’s denial of the remaining 5 weeks of benefits. It will be crucial to obtain notes and/or summaries of your treatment with your therapist in order to provide evidence of impairment and disability.
