It is typical for an insurance company to delay or deny an individual's ERISA long-term disability claim. There are many factors that may result in a person being denied ERISA benefits by an insurance company, such as improper filing of documentation and the type and severity of the injury. In the event that your long-term disability claim was denied, you will have a period of time (180 days is now mandated) to request a review of your ERISA claim denial. In this time you may have to file a variety of documents, which must be accurately filled out and filed in a timely manner. You may be required to submit further personal information or evidence to prove that you are eligible and entitled to the benefits that you were denied.
