LTD insurance and SSDI are similar to each other in many ways. Both disability plans require claimants to make a written application for benefits and, if denied, the insurance company, like the Social Security Administration, issues a written reason for the denial and explains the claimant’s appeal options. While the claim evaluation processes may be similar, insurance policies or plans do not necessarily define “disability” the same way the Social Security Administration does. It is very important to refer to your insurance policy or plan to see just how disability is defined. Even more important, unlike the Social Security Administration, an LTD insurance carrier may be financially motivated to deny your claim. After all, the less benefits an insurance company pays out, the more money it can keep for itself. For this reason, it is often advisable to contact an experienced disability attorney before you make your claim.
