So your claim for short or long term disability benefits was denied. Whether its Sun Life, Manulife, Great West Life, Desjardins or any of the other disability insurers in Ontario, here are a few helpful pointers for appealing a disability denial.
Step 1:
Call the Ontario Disability Helpline for a FREE disability appeal review. Have an Ontario Disability Lawyer review your claim with you to better understand your options/rights.
Step 2:
Review the medicals. Your claim may be denied for a number of reasons. One of our lawyers can assist you in this, but it can often be helpful to review the medical-basis for your claim and ensure that all necessary supporting medical records are provided to ensure that your claim gets the best chance of successful approval.
Step 3:
Do not wait. If you allow a ‘limitation period’ to pass without appealing or brining a claim for your wrongfully denied disability benefits, you may be prevented from doing so in the future. Call our Disability Helpline to review your case and see how to best claim the benefits that you are owed. We can be reached at (416) 931-2555, call today.
