Included in This Recording

1. Always talk to a lawyer to determine whether you have a case.
2. “Employability” rather than “disability” should be the focus because it is more about whether a person can carry out the duties of their own job or a reasonable job carried out to the level required by a reasonable employer.
3. Reading the fine print of your contract: Things to consider in deciding whether a case should be pursued include the type of policy, whether benefits were denied or terminated, and the basis for denial or termination.
