A: Yes. The day you stop working is a crucial factor when it comes to long-term disability and it can impact your claim.
You are going to have to answer the question of why you chose that specific day to stop working when you put in eight hours the day before and forty hours the prior week. In fact, this question is incredibly important, especially if you are suffering from a chronic medical condition. The decision on the day to stop working should coincide with your medical records.
The majority of group long-term disability policies require that you wait 3 to 6 months after your disability begins, before you receive your benefits. The date you choose will stay in your disability file indefinitely, so you need to be careful in your selection. An experienced Virginia long-term disability attorney can help you.
