My question is: if you appeal when Unum denies you, do you still receive funds? This is my life they are playing with.

Cathy, when Unum or any other disability insurance company denies a claim, then they usually stop paying disability benefits immediately. If you win your appeal, then they will pay all past due benefits that have not been paid.
