Lincoln Financial

I tried working a small job my friends offered me, and instead of offsetting my benefits Lincoln Financial is terminating them.

November 2014 I was bit by a Great Dane dog, a day later I ended up in the hospital for 8 days and a pic line for 8 weeks. I ended up losing my job because the bones in my wrist are ruined and I can’t do simple things .I have been on ltd for one year. I was going nuts here at home so friends of mine offered me a little job. I called and sent in my check stubs, it’s very little hours and they are wonderful at letting me go when it gets to bad. I input with my other hand things into quickbooks although I am extremely slow at it. So first I get a letter stating after 24 months if I work any kind of job I lose my benefits. I call them and oh that was a typo it’s after 12 months. I could never go out and get a real job so to speak without this getting out a couple days a week. I was in bed crying all the time, I am a single mom of a 15 year old special needs boy. I don’t understand this, why couldn’t they just take my earnings off my check? So now in Feb 2017 I lose my benifits, I have no way to survive.
