Question
Does UNUM ever deny extension of benefits due to pregnancy or on the other side would my pregnancy be considered a medical condition where they could potentially extend my benefits due to being pregnant?
Answer
Jeliza, Some policies require that the condition that you are disabled from as the claim transitions into the Any Occupation period must be the same sickness or injury that you initially became disabled from, so you will have to review your policy as to same. Unum can and will deny your benefits regardless of the pregnancy if it determines from the totality of the circumstances that you no longer meet the definition of disability under the policy. Please feel free to contact our office should you wish to discuss your claim further.
