If you have sustained an injury or illness that has kept you out of work, you could be entitled to disability benefits.

Tips for a successful long-term disability claim
While the circumstances of your injury should speak for itself, the reality is there are steps you can take to help– or hinder– your disability claim. Here are some tips to protect your legal rights.
- Follow your doctor’s orders. To qualify for disability benefits, you must do your part to deal with your injury or illness. The first step is to meet with your doctor and follow their orders. If you skip appointments, refuse treatment, or disregard their advice, you are giving the insurance company grounds to deny your claim.
- Make sure your records are well organized. Medical records form the basis of a strong disability claim, and poorly organized records can lead to your claim being denied.
- Be careful with your words. The insurance company is not your friend, and anything you say can be used against you to deny your claim. If you say anything that contradicts your statements to your doctors, it can result in a denial. Insurance adjusters make their living by finding ways to deny valid claims.
The process of filing for long term disability benefits is complex. Thankfully, you do not have to take on the insurance company by yourself. Contact a long term disability lawyer to discuss your options.

Here are some commonly asked questions for long-term disability claims
Why are long-term disability claims denied?

You can appeal the denial or take legal action against your insurer. A long-term disability lawyer can help you gather medical evidence and advocate for your entitlement to benefits.
How long can I receive long-term disability benefits for in BC?
LTD benefits may continue until you recover, for a period set in your policy (typically 2-5 years), or until you reach retirement age. The exact length will depend on your insurance contract.
