Disability Insurance Approvals

Disability insurance companies are working remotely because of the pandemic, which has slowed down the processing of claims. Nonetheless, decisions are getting made. 

We represent a 60 year old finance manager from Glen Cove with cancer whose Disability Insurance (“DI”) application was approved by Mutual of Omaha. We also represent a 55 year old business analyst from North Babylon with back problems whose Long Term Disability (“LTD”) application was approved by MetLife. 

Navigating the claims process is more cumbersome during the pandemic, and requires more effort than usual. Obtaining medical records when doctors’ offices are barely staffed is difficult, and claimants even have trouble being able to schedule appointments. 

It is risky for an insured to try to navigate a disability insurance claim on their own.  While it may seem the insurance company is on your side, they are not.  Please feel free to call my office for a free phone consultation.  We are conveniently located on Long Island in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
