disability benefits

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 3 of Winning Isn't Easy.  In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Surveillance". 

Host Nancy L. Cavey, a seasoned attorney with extensive experience in disability claims, discusses how disability carriers aggressively employ surveillance at every stage of a claim in order to find any reason to justify a claims denial. It does not matter the severity of your disability - carriers will often videotape you, contact you repeatedly by phone, or use other methods of surveillance in order to label you a malingerer. When you listen to this episode, you may learn what to watch out for, and how to avoid this favorite denial tactic.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:

1 - How Disability Carriers Use the Activity of Daily Living Forms to Set Up Surveillance

2 - How Disability Carriers Use Surveillance to Attack Your Doctor’s Opinions About Your Restrictions and Limitations and Get Your Doctor to Change their Minds

3 - Tips for Attacking the Surveillance if You’re the Star in a Long-Term Disability Claim Denial Movie

Whether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey. Don't miss it.

In this episode of the Employee Survival Guide, Mark shares a real life story about a successful executive who lost his voice box due to cancer and then lost his career.  Mark guides us  through the initial stages of the employee's successful career until he was diagnosed with throat cancer.  Once the employee lost his ability to speak, his employer intentionally discriminated against the employee in an attempt to force him to quick his job. The employee took a leave of absence under the ADA and the FMLA and was able to reach a successful settlement with the employer.  Mark notes the employee was able to carve out of the settlement the employee's ongoing short and long term disability benefits; he did not waive his claims for STD and LTD benefits.  Mark then describes the difficulty and illegal actions taken by the disability benefits insurance carrier to claim the employee had an anxiety disability and not a physical disability, the loss of his voice box.  Mark describes the administrative process the employee followed to eventually obtain an award for LTD benefits for his physical disability, the loss of his voice box.  Mark concludes by summarizing the multi-layered process that every employee must follow to deal with employment discrimination and unlawful actions by a disability carrier to deny disability benefits.  The employee successfully complained of employment discrimination, obtained a sizable settlement and then proceeded to challenge his disability benefits denial and won.  All of these actions were accomplished without the need for filing a lawsuit or costly litigation in court.

Episode 8 of the NYMA podcast takes listeners on the road down an uncomfortable subject to many...money...particularly financial and estate planning. It's the intersection of where money can meet the future.  In our case, it's the intersection of where money can meet the future, but with an asterisk.  Sometimes, the day to day stresses of life can prevent you from achieving attainable long-term goals that can set your family up for the future. Our family had to shift our mindset from in the now to thinking more generationally. So, this episode dictates just some of what we had to take into consideration when we realized that our plans may need plans.

A high level conversation on estate planning with attorney Christina Thomas is included, who is licensed in DC and Maryland. For more information about legal services she could potentially provide in this space, check out https://eplfirm.com/. 

As this episode states at the beginning, the content in this episode is not meant to replace legal and/or financial advice customized to one's own individual needs provided by attorneys and other professionals as it relates to estate planning or financial planning.
