Why Disability Claims Get Denied
Unfortunately, some claims are denied even when they are valid. Here are three of the most common reasons and how we respond:
Not Enough Medical Proof
Insurers may say the documentation doesn’t prove your inability to work.
Our Resolution: We collaborate with your medical professionals to make sure every report, test, and note is thorough and complete.
Restrictive Definitions in the Policy
Some policies require proof that you cannot work in any occupation, not just your own.
Our Resolution: We analyze the policy wording and challenge overly narrow standards used to deny your benefits.
Paperwork Mistakes or Missed Deadlines
Even small errors or delays can be used to dismiss your claim.
Our Resolution: We oversee your claim step by step, making sure that nothing is overlooked and timelines are respected.
