Long term approved ..I am in shock

Seriously tho , very good news and they will back pay me from January. I am honestly so shocked as I thought they were just gonna string me along..

I told them last week that I was getting a Lawyer because I had given them everything they asked for and had not paid me for the last 5 months.

I just hope more of you out there get some good news. Thanks for all the great support. Lisa

Congrats!!

This is very good news, Lisa! Good for you, you deserve this! Take good care of yourself!

Wishing you well,

It was my long term from work, they had stopped paying me after 3 months of short term so I have been giving them any bit of info I got for the past 5 months and it sounded like I was going to have to get a lawyer.. He just called and said they had approved me for LTD which definition changes after 2 years from doing my own job to any job. So if I cannot work I will have to apply for CPP. At least it will allow me to live for a bit while I am trying to get better. I wish all of you all the best in this because it was really stressing me out!! I know this makes things worse as far as our fibro. Knida a catch 22 don't you think!!! Lisa

HI Lisa - SO happy you got your long term disability! I applied several years ago and had a fantastic lawyer. Within just a few months, I was given my first check - back pay as well. Long story short - my inheritance from my parents (Dad was a doctor - Mom an artist) was embezzled - leaving me with nothing. What an adjustment!! I have had Fibro now for about 30 years. Right around the time that it was getting worse was when everything went down. It's an awful lot of anxiety and frustration - isn't it?? We need all the help we can get. Again, so happy for you and keep in touch? Hugs!! Laurie

Thanks Laurie, It sure is stressful.. 30 years that is so long to have this condition. It helps to know I have some money coming in. I am sure you have been thru so much having this for so long. I hope you have it managed somewhat. Thankyou for the post.. Hugs Lisa

That's wonderful news!

Woo hoo, this is SERIOUSLY good news! These jerks love to blow us off, despite our having paid for the stupid insurance. I'm just so glad that you were able to force them to pay you what they should have in the first place. Well done!!!

Congratulations, Lisa!
