1. Effect of long term disability

• Long term disability can cause some serious
  distress and mental agony coupled with economic
  uncertainty that arises from the fact that the
  person may not be able to satisfactorily honor
  his financial commitment.

2. Important procedures to be followed in filing
of disability claims

• A worker, who has suffered some type or form of
  injury that is likely to keep him or her out of
  work for an extended period of time, needs to
  file the disability claim as soon as possible.
• Rules in certain states and provinces stipulate
  that the disability claim must be filed no later
  than 30 days from the time the injury is suffered
  or the illness is diagnosed.
• Majority of the workers suffer from the
  misconception that their chances of encountering
  a career threatening injury are almost
  negligible.

• Statistics, however, paint an entirely different
  picture. Reports suggest that over 20 percent of
  workers aged between 20 to 30 years have a
  realistic chance of suffering from a type or form
  of injury or illness that may result in long term
  disability before they reach the age of
  retirement.
• This makes it imperative that the disability
  insurance is purchased while you are healthy. It
  will be worthwhile to check with your employer
  for the type of disability coverage they provide
  and buy additional coverage, if you feel that
  there is a need for it.
