2 ways Principal harms disabled employees

Reviewed by Jim H. on November 14th 2015   Verified Policyholder
Two important ways that Principal harms disabled employees. First, They will approve your disability claim under one of the mental illness categories (such as depression) just so they can stop paying your benefits after 2 years. It doesn’t matter if you have multiple physical ailments. They just ignore those. Second, If you are disabled for 12 months, they will terminate your employment. The government needs to investigate.

Jim, if Principal has approved your claim under a mental health limitation but have physical conditions that cause disability you can challenge this decision. With respect to termination of your employment- quite often if you are no longer covered by FMLA or under a work contract an employer will terminate a position after a certain period of time. Please feel free to contact our office to discuss challenging Principal’s contention that you are only disabled from a mental health condition.
