Question
Is it too late to file a claim 8 years later?
I became disabled 8 years ago. I did not make a claim through my employer although my disability was job related because I had to move out of state to be with my family. Can I bring a claim now or is it too late? I am 68.
Answer
Christine, every disability policy contains a Notice provision which requires that you file your disability claim and notify the disability insurer within the prescribed period of time. However, you may still be able to apply and they may still consider your disability claim if there is sufficient proof of your disability for the period of time claimed.
