How Will My Long Term
Disability Affect My Social
Security Disability Case?
Often, you will find that most LTD carriers require claimants to apply
for Social Security since Social Security benefits can reduce
the amount of money that the LTD carrier must pay over the
course of a claimant's lifetime. In addition, the Medicaid and
Medicare benefits that accrue to Social Security beneficiaries
can reduce the health insurance costs to a LTD carrier.
In a best case situation, your LTD carrier can help your
Social Security lawyer work your Social Security case as the
LTD adjustor may have a complete medical file. Other
times LTD carriers offer no assistance.
If you are receiving or applying for long term disability,
make sure to advise your Social Security lawyer.
