Disability Law Show Bell Radio – S2 E43

Discover your rights and the TRUTH about long term disability and personal injury. Tamar Agopian, Disability Lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP joins co-host John Scholes as they guide you through the proper steps to take when your insurance provider cuts off your long-term disability or denies your insurance claim.

What They Covered

• My mental health LTD claim was denied as my insurer saw me interacting with friends and family on my doctor’s recommendation. What should I do?
• If my LTD appeal is approved, will I be guaranteed disability benefits until I retire?
• My mom suffers from chronic migraines and back pain and is being pressured by her insurer. She’s worried she’ll be cut off from benefits at the two-year mark. What should she do?
• What is the point of surveillance from an insurer’s perspective?
• Can you receive a disability tax benefit if you’re on CPPD or LTD?
• My brother has COPD and hasn’t worked in several years and was told he isn’t eligible for LTD or CPPD as he has too much collateral. Is this true?
• I’m suffering from anxiety and insomnia after caring for my husband who’s suffered from a brain tumor and cancer. My employer told me to apply for government benefits instead of LTD and when I finally applied I was told I was no longer eligible. What should I do?
• Do short term disability policies cover mental health diagnoses?
• I’ve been in an accident after my short term disability claim was denied. Will this hurt my claim?
