Common Reasons Long-term 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 Ontario hear:

“Not Totally Disabled”
They claim you can still work in some capacity, even if your doctor disagrees.

Insufficient Medical Evidence
They argue your medical file doesn’t prove you can’t work.

Missed Deadlines or Forms
Minor paperwork issues are used to justify a full denial.

Claiming Non-Compliance
They say you didn’t follow your doctor’s treatment recommendations.

Surveillance or Social Media
Photos or video clips are taken out of context to “prove” you’re not disabled.

Medical Opinion Disputes
The insurer’s doctor reviews your file and disagrees – without ever seeing you.

My case was complex and Albert Klein did everything to help me get through a disability claim. I was not in a position to pay an LTD lawyer and a contingency agreement was arranged. Albert listened to all my woes, and I cannot say enough of the professionalism.
