Sun Life Denies Life Insurance Over Anxiety Disorder

An Elmira, Ont. man says Sun Life Financial denied his application for life insurance because he has generalized anxiety disorder. Robert Pugh worries that Sun Life’s practice could keep others from pursuing help for mental illness.

Sivan Tumarkin is a Toronto Disability Lawyer and partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. He joined Kelly Cutrara on Global News Radio 640 Toronto to discuss Pugh’s story. Is this considered discrimination? Can an insurance company refuse to provide coverage for anyone with a preexisting condition?

Sivan also discusses what to do when a disability claim for anxiety is denied and what happens if Sun Life denies an LTD claim.
