Now receiving Long Term Disability Payments But….?
My wife and I were able to successfully appeal our LTD denial. We also won our Social Security denial without a lawyer.
But that leaves open what happens afterwards, what options do I have when the private insurance company behaves unprofessionally by harassing, lying, and constantly threatening you by "reviewing your disability status", month after month, considering new paperwork old because it took them weeks to get to it, etc.?
Some examples:
**Refusal to give me my policy, they had to be forced to do so by my former employer, only after I hired a lawyer to send them a letter demanding they provide it.
**Constantly requesting "updated medical information", month after month, even though I have a letter from Social Security informing
me that they are not even going review my medical condition for the next 5-7 years, due to the severity of my injury! Seems like every
time I get them a report from my Dr., it takes them 4 weeks to review it and then it’s old news and it starts again!
**They lied and sent me a letter that they were going to reduce my monthly benefits dollar for dollar because of my daughter’s Social
Security benefits.I had to hire an attorney to review the contract, send a letter that it was not legal to do so, then they sent me a letter
apologizing for their "mistake".
I can go on and on, and that’s just since last august!
Am I protected from this abuse by the ADA or Bad Faith Provisions in NJ, or any other laws or regulations?
So you consider it an "inconvenience" that they tried to steal my benefits, refused to provide a policy, even though I am injured and in chronic
pain? What good are bad faith laws?
Thanks
