Show Notes

• Sivan talks about claimants that have pre-existing conditions such as respiratory illnesses, particularly those now struggling with long-COVID-19.
• A listener with a mental health illness that is not the reason they are on LTD, writes in to question why the insurer is forcing them to consider medications for a previous mental illness.
• A concerned claimant who is told they will lose benefits after 2 years writes in to determine their next steps if they are still unable to return to work.
