Common Reasons Disability Claims Are Denied
Insurance companies often deny legitimate claims using vague or unfair justifications. Here are some of the most common reasons our clients in B.C. hear:
They claim you can still work in some capacity, even if your doctor disagrees.
They argue your medical file doesn’t prove you can’t work.
Minor paperwork issues are used to justify a full denial.
They say you didn’t follow your doctor’s treatment recommendations.
Photos or video clips are taken out of context to “prove” you’re not disabled.
The insurer’s doctor reviews your file and disagrees – without ever seeing you.
