Common Questions Asked About Disability Claims in Florida

Q: No. 9 - Has your claim for long-term disability benefits been denied on the basis that you haven't been putting forth your best efforts?

A: Long-term disability carriers routinely hire companies such as the Reid Group, to review long-term disability claims. Unfortunately, the Reid Group will use, as a basis for denying claims, an allegation that a psychiatrically disabled person hasn't put forth their best efforts in neuropsychological testing based on tests of memory validity. The Reid Group will conclude that you haven't been "cooperating" under the terms of the plan.

If your claim for long-term disability benefits has been denied or the carrier is sending you to a neuropsychiatry examination, contact Nancy Cavey immediately.

Answering these broad-based questions isn't easy. Help is a phone call away. You can contact Nancy Cavey, an experienced long-term disability attorney at 727-894-3188.
