I read your response to Amanda regarding her applying for short term disability thru Sun Life for work related stress. I too applied last year after being admitted to the hospital with chest pains, which was not the first time this has happened, and after weeks of having my doctors send numerous reports over and over, was denied benefits for the same reason as Amanda, the issues were work related. The way I read it, Sun Life is saying yes, your work is the reason for your stress, but refuses to pay. I have researched this company and find it amazing that on their website they have articles about how work related stress affects your health by causing issues with your heart, blood pressure, digestion, migrane headaches, but are hypocrites when it comes to paying the claim. I appealed and was, of course, denied, and am going to appeal again, but feel it is a waste of tiime and this is exactly what Sun Life wants. They know people are going to be disgusted and just give up. They out source their claims to doctors and feel they are paid to deny claims. I would like to see the credentials for some of these doctors who are causing claimaints even more stress. I know I am making unfound accusations, but that is my opinion of Sun Life. If it sounds harsh or bitter, you are correct.
