Long term disability

[ssdw1958]

I do have to let you know all of you who gave me information with long term disability I had my Tella conference this morning and it went smother than I though it would have gone. I was well informed in part because of all of you, and the man that was asking me the questions was thought full. You have to understand the people I worked for meaning about 3 of them were not nice to a person with MS all of the rest were good to work with . So I have a hard time thinking that there are good people who are sincere, because you have disease. I don't have an answer yet on the long term disability.

Thank you all for your help.

I not sure how long they have to check to see if I qualify can you imagine sHot term did it but that took a while now long term has to look into it . You think I like staying home and doing nothing, if I could I would be working. I am not upset with you, but you know what I mean as the kids would say "really" but I will say a prayer for you

The process takes 3 months. They need to obtain medical records etc from your doctors. These companies are insurance companies that are highly regulated. They have to do what they say they do. Good luck

The lawyers say that Disability denies applicants %75 of the time that first apply. Then you have to re-file. 4-6 months process here they say.
