COVID 19 and Long COVID 19
If you are suffering from COVID 19 or Long COVID 19, you can apply for long term disability benefits.
Long term disability claims for benefits are designed to cover any health issues that prevent you from fulfilling the day-to-day responsibilities of your job, and COVID 19 is no exception. If the virus, complications from the virus, or long COVID 19 prevent you from working for a significant stretch of time, you can apply for both short term and/or long term disability benefits. If your insurance company denies your short term or long term disability claim in relation to your COVID symptoms, please reach out to a legal professional, like the disability experts at Share Lawyers to help you navigate your denied claim.
The most common COVID 19 symptoms are fever, cough, tiredness, and loss of taste or smell. Serious symptoms can include difficulty breathing, chest pain, and loss of speech and mobility. Less common symptoms include sore throat, headache, body aches and pains, red or irritated eyes, and diarrhea. These symptoms can be disabling and cause you to be unable to do your job, both in the short term, and in some cases, in the long term.
While people with mild COVID 19 symptoms are generally asked to manage their symptoms at home, make sure to call your doctor and keep track of all paperwork – medical documents will be important to the success of a COVID disability claim.
As the pandemic continues, there are increasing numbers of people suffering from long COVID 19. These COVID 19 long-haulers experience symptoms and health issues months after the onset of the virus and even after tests no longer detect its presence in their bodies.
Long COVID 19 symptoms include fatigue, heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, “brain fog”, sleep disorders, fevers, gastrointestinal symptoms, anxiety, and depression. These symptoms can persist for months and can range from mild to incapacitating.
A global survey conducted in the fall of 2020 shows that nearly a quarter of people suffering from long COVID 19 were unable to work and have gone on disability or taken medical leave. Of these patients, 85.9 % said they had relapses months after their initial infection, often triggered by some kind of mental or physical exertion such as working. We want to ensure that you are getting the benefits you deserve while you recover from long COVID 19. These benefits would act as an income replacement while you are recovering, or in the case that you cannot return to work due to long term disabling symptoms, it would be your financial support. Don’t accept the insurance company’s excuses.
These LTD disability claims are heavily dependent on obtaining the necessary medical evidence in order to prove the condition in a way that the insurance company will accept. Most policies contain time limits that can be difficult to interpret and so as soon as your long term disability claim has been denied, we would encourage you to contact our disability lawyers to discuss your LTD claim to see if we can support you. If the covid-19 pandemic or another highly contagious virus has made you sick to the point of being unable to do your job, please reach out to Share Lawyers.
We encourage you to contact us if your long term disability claims have been denied due to COVID 19 and Long COVID 19.

Denied your long term disability claim?
A note from our lawyers
Taking a medical leave from work is not an easy decision to make. Concerns about providing for yourself and your family and keeping your job may cause you to want to push through your pain, but this won’t make your problems go away. Stopping work is often the smartest decision for your long term health and well-being, and your LTD benefits are there to provide you with financial support until you can return to work.
If you have made the tough decision to stop working and apply for your short term disability or long term disability benefits, you may feel overwhelmed by the process and have questions that your employer and your insurance company are not able or willing to answer. Share is There to see you through and answer your questions.
Our Disability law firm knows what you have been going through
We understand that things have not been easy for you over the last little while. Your health has been suffering, you are unable to work, and now your insurance company, who was supposed to be there in your time of need, has decided they will not pay your disability benefits or respect your disability claim. These benefits exist to provide you with the financial support you need so that you can focus on your health and rebuilding your life. It is unfortunate that your insurance company has not lived up to its promise. If your disability claim has been denied, we will fight to get you the benefits you are entitled to. Our disability lawyers have helped thousands of Canadians get their long term disability benefits over the past 35 years, and we can help you too.
