Allenstein ERISA Blog

The purpose of this ERISA blog is to share experiences regarding disability claims. I want to provide helpful information on obtaining disability benefits. I also want to provide a forum to hear from people who are having difficulty with disability claims.

Let me hear from you.

As the economy turns down, insurance companies are denying more disability claims.

TIPS on fighting denied disability claims:

•1) See an attorney immediately.

•2) Be sure the attorney handles ERISA claims

•3) The attorney must file an administrative appeal and request the entire claim file.

•4) The attorney must be prepared to supplement the claim file with a strong affidavit by the disabled employee and with additional medical evidence of disability including a questionnaire completed by the treating physician.

•5) You must have a physician who is willing to support your claim.
