Understanding Disability Benefits Denials

It's important to recognize that a denial doesn't signal the end of your journey to obtaining the benefits you need. Rather, it's an indication that further action is required.

Common Grounds for Denial

Denials of disability benefits in Ontario often stem from various reasons, such as:

• Insufficient medical evidence to support the claim
• Application errors or incomplete information
• Discrepancies in reported symptoms or treatments
• Failure to meet the policy's definition of "disability"

The Path to Appeal

If your disability benefits are denied, know that there are specific steps you can take to challenge the decision.

Filing an Appeal

The first step is to thoroughly review the reasons for denial, then:

• Gather additional medical evidence or documentation that addresses the reasons for the denial
• Correct any application errors or fill in missing information
• File a formal appeal with the insurance company or benefits provider within their specified timelines

When to Seek Legal Assistance

While some individuals may feel comfortable navigating the appeal process independently, Aaron believes that navigating an appeal without legal representation may undermine your claim for disability and may undermine your legal rights. Aaron recommends you immediately seek effective legal representation upon your claim being denied. Aaron can be reached at 416-4878 ext. 222 or awaxman@awaxmanlaw.ca.
