Lincoln Financial made my life a living hell

Lincoln Financial made my life a living hell. I went on medical leave from my job just to work for them basically. My mental health is worse than it was and I still do not know what is wrong with me physically. I was forced to return to work just to get paid. My finances are all messed up and I am still trying to get caught up on bills as well as focus on my health. It was definitely a let down when I thought medical leave was put in place to help people while out of work. I’ve wanted to throw in the towel a few times and currently thinking about an in patient treatment center.

Salyna, I am sorry to hear about your experience. I wish I could say it is an anomaly, but it is an all too common occurrence. Depending on if the claim was ever approved, and how long you have been back to work, most policies have what is known as a recurrent disability provision that allows you to go back out on disability without filing a claim. If your claim was not approved or you have been back to work beyond the designated period in the recurrent disability provision, then the only option would be to file a new claim. If you are looking to go back out on disability, then please feel free to contact our office to review your policy and discuss how we may be able to assist you in filing the application.
