Experienced Arlington disability lawyer Jonathan M. Feigenbaum can help you navigate the complex LTD claims or appeals process so you could obtain the outcome you deserve.

What Is Long Term Disability?

If you cannot work for an extended period of time because you suffer from an injury or illness, LTD insurance will pay a percentage of your salary. You can either purchase LTD privately or obtain LTD from your employer. To qualify for LTD, you must be disabled for a certain period of time. LTD policies differ on the wait period, but it is usually 10 to 53 weeks, averaging 26 weeks. Arlington disability lawyer Jonathan M. Feigenbaum can review your insurance policy to determine the requirements to qualify for LTD.

  • Experience an illness or injury that lasts for an extended period of time;
  • Wait the policy’s specified amount of time since the qualifying event; and,
  • Had an income prior to your injury or illness.

Applying for Benefits
