Thank God!! Long Term Disability Finally Approved

LOPSIDED · 06-24-2006, 07:24 PM

I'VE BEEN SO STRESSED THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I RECEIVED A LETTER TODAY APPROVING MY LONG-TERM DISABILITY. I AM ONLY WORKING 3 DAYS A WEEK AND WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION MY LONG TERM DISABILITY HAD BEEN DENIED. THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO SOMEONE ON THE PHONE I WAS TOLD I WAS WORKING TOO MANY HOURS TO BE QUALIFIED FOR LONG-TERM ( THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO). THANK GOD IT WAS APPROVED. GOING THRU TREATMENT IS ENOUGH WITHOUT ALL THIS PAPERWORK AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FINANCIALLY SURVIVE AND PHYSICALLY SURVIVE.

I totally agree! I am applying for LTD after the 4th of July. I was diagnosed 6 years ago and it has not been uneventful. The stress is too much. We have enough to deal with. I have had stage 4 for 5 years and still kicking!

Congrats.

I was denied long term disability because of a technicality. I know how stressful this can be. I had no problem getting social security disability, but that little extra would be nice. Congratulations!!! One less thing to worry about!!!!

what's the difference between long term disability and social security disability?
