Reasons for Disability Pension Denials in Alberta

We can understand that it is never a fair fight with insurance to understand how the system for such claims works.

Mentioned below is a list of some common reasons that lead to disability pension denials in Alberta:

Claimants are questioned that they are not disabled and are fit to work.
Claimants are often challenged for not following their doctor’s instructions.
There might be unfair or unreasonable deadlines to fill the respective claim forms.
Claimants are repeatedly denied on the grounds of unclear and unfair reasons.
Claimants are often asked to seek new medical advice or a specialist.

All of this might sound familiar to you! Our lawyers at Ludwar Law Firm know how to handle such cases to serve you better. We strive to ensure that you get the right to an adequate and fair disability pension.
