Lincoln Financial is trying to pay for only a fraction of the time I'm supposed to be out of work, and requests more records in order to extend the coverage.

If my doctors note states I should be out 4-6 weeks, why does Lincoln Financial only want to give me 2 weeks? When you first call it’s all about taking care of you. I was actually asked, “Are you planning on going back to work, ever?” I said, “I was planning on following what my doctor requests.” Then I had to fax more documents and requests to my case manager. He said, that the nurse practitioner had reviewed my case and would only pay my claim, through May the 29th. She’s not a doctor nor has she ever seen me. I have to go back to my dentist today to repair dentures that are making me gag, so I can’t talk. Plus I can’t wear them for over 4 hours without pain. I am in sales, I talk for a living. What am I supposed to do, I am living off credit cards???? Talked to 401k folks and I can’t claim hardship until I get an eviction notice? Being sick and in pain sucks…then add the stress of how you’re going to pay your bills is a nightmare.
