If your long-term disability claim has been denied, you still have options. The appeal stage is your best opportunity to present new evidence, correct errors, and strengthen your case. But it’s also a complex and time-sensitive process governed by strict ERISA rules.
Here are a few key takeaways:
- Act quickly. Most policies allow only 180 days to submit an appeal.
- Request and review your complete claim file to understand the insurer’s reasoning.
- Strengthen your record with updated medical reports and expert evaluations.
- Submit your appeal in writing as ERISA requires it.
- Work with an experienced disability insurance attorney who understands this process.
