Principal’s short term disability insurance is all lies. They will deny your claim any way they can. I had an existing marginally high blood pressure. No indication in any of the propaganda they use to.get your sign up that this means they can take your money but really not cover you while they review let underwriters slow play athe process. God forbid you get hurt and file a claim almost two months after you signed up. Even tho all you had wrong was hbp that you told them about already, they will now include your new injury or illneas to decide they arent going to insure you, even tho it has nothing to do with hbp. Cheap shot Principal! I guess if my new injury happened just a few days later, you would already have approved me for STD insurance and would have to pay my claim for my injury. Hope you are proud of the lack of morals and integrity this takes all over about $360 a week for a couple months-just long enough for me to get surgery so I can go back to work. Now I am going to get evicted, cant get my surgery because I don’t even have money for the copay, I get to starvr cuz you all used an injury not in evidence at the time of enrollment. Breach of good faith, bad business practice, destroy a poor mans life all over 360 a week?

Charles, what is the status of your claim at this point? Are you back at work? In appeals?
