0:00 - Intro

🔹 Benefits cut off after an independent medical assessment - 1:37
My disability benefits were cut off after an independent assessment with their psychiatrist. Despite the fact that the assessment proved I was unable to work they still cut off my benefits. What should I do?

📧 Long-term disability benefits cut off as claimant told can do another job - 10:45
EMAIL from [email protected]: “Last year I had a seizure while at work. None of the medications I’ve tried so far are working. Now the insurance company says they will be cutting off my long-term disability benefits because I can work in retail earning minimum wage. I’m still getting dizzy spells and losing my balance, so I can’t stand for long. Am I still entitled to disability benefits?"

▶️ Dealing with difficult employers while on LTD:

1️⃣ Some employers think that it’s ok to let an employee go while the employee is on long-term disability. Is it ok? What can the employee do about that? - 15:23

2️⃣ Can the employer change a person’s job duties and salary while the person is on LTD? - 17:17

3️⃣ If a person is ready to try to return to modified duties at work, is the employer responsible for accommodating the employee and can the LTD insurer stop benefits at that time? - 18:32

❓ Can claimants ask for a new disability insurance adjuster? - 22:07
https://www.mydisabilityquestions.com: "My doctor says I am still unable to work due to chronic back pain from arthritis in my spine. My insurance adjuster, however, has been constantly asking for updates and their behaviour is bordering on harassment. Is there any way I can ask for a new adjuster?"

📧 An employer refusing to accommodate mental health disability - 24:52
EMAIL from [email protected]: “I’ve been on LTD for 4 years due to PTSD, depression and anxiety. My doctor said that if I was to return to work, it must not be the same office or department I left as it will generate too much stress. My employer is refusing to accommodate these requests. Now the insurer is saying that I am no longer disabled because my doctor has cleared me to return to work, and will cut off my benefits. What are my options?"
