Can I return to work while I am suing for my LTD benefits?

Disability insurance is available to individuals who cannot work due to an injury or illness. If you can work, you are probably not entitled to benefits. There may be instances where you are able to work in a different capacity than your normal employment which may allow for this, but in general, if you can work, you are not eligible for disability benefits.

LTD Benefits

Long term disability benefits may be available to individuals who are injured or ill and cannot work as a result. Thus, if you can work, you are not entitled to benefits in most cases.

If your long term disability claim was denied, and you feel that it was wrongfully denied, you may have the right to sue for benefits. One of the most common claims for such lawsuits is that of bad faith denial on the part of your insurer.

Whether or not you can legally sue your insurance provider depends on the facts of your case and the law. There are restrictions on the types of claims that can be brought. Discuss the facts of your case with an experienced lawyer who handles disability cases.

If you have a disability which is preventing you from working in your normal capacity, you may be eligible for disability benefits. An attorney can help you figure out the best way to handle a suit for benefits if you have not been granted benefits to which you know you are entitled.
