What to Do If Your PTSD Long-Term Disability Claim is Denied?

 A claim for Long-Term Disability (LTD) for PTSD in Canada might be denied for several reasons. These could include insufficient medical evidence demonstrating the severity of PTSD, discrepancies in the symptoms reported by the claimant versus those observed by healthcare professionals, or the insurance company’s assessment that the claimant is still able to work.

Additionally, failure to comply with prescribed treatment plans or specific policy exclusions related to mental health can also result in denial. It’s crucial to understand your policy details and gather comprehensive supporting documents to strengthen your claim. To ensure better success with a Long-Term Disability (LTD) claim for PTSD in Canada:

  • Gather comprehensive medical documentation of your PTSD diagnosis and treatment.
  • Ensure your health care provider includes details on how PTSD affects your work.
  • Follow prescribed treatment plans and keep records of all treatments and responses.
  • Collect and submit any relevant psychological evaluations.
  • Meet all deadlines and policy requirements for submitting an LTD claim.
  • Consider consulting with an LTD lawyer for guidance on the claims process.

Crafting a substantial claim requires precision, melding your medical history with the profound effects PTSD has on your life. Our team at Tim Louis & Company is ready to help you compile a compelling narrative, ensuring your claim captures the full extent of your daily challenges and medical complexities. In the event of a denial, we’re here to dissect the insurer’s reasoning and fortify your appeal with robust evidence and strategic legal advocacy.
