The most important thing to know about disability claims

When someone receives a denial letter or letter informing them their disability benefits are going to be terminated, there is one important step that should follow immediately – checking your deadline to appeal the determination.

One of the most important things to remember about your disability claim is that there are deadlines to appeal determinations and statutes of limitations for filing lawsuits. It is very important that you never miss your deadline to appeal or go beyond your statute of limitations because if you do, your claim for disability benefits could be lost forever.

If the letter from your insurance company does not provide your specific deadline for filing an appeal, you should contact your case manager for such information. If you claim is denied, contact our firm so we can discuss the next steps available to you and help ensure you do not miss your deadline.
