Many factors can contribute to an insurance company denying your claim. Do not despair – this may not be your fault.
Denied Disability from Sun Life
Being denied your disability payments or having to initiate a claim is hard work. In some cases, you may not even be able to file a claim on your own. Be vigilant; a lawyer can help you through difficult times and help you on your way to claiming your rightful benefits – and, ultimate well-being.
Sun Life Disability Claim Process
The Disability Claim process is fourfold:
- Claim received by Sun Life
- Claim is reviewed by Sun Life
- Claim is approved (or appealed)
- Rehabilitation is initiated
Consent Forms from Sun Life Financial
Be Aware: When you are seen by a doctor or health professional hired by an insurance company, under no circumstances are you to sign any documentation provided by them, including consent forms. You must be apologetic and insist that your lawyer has forbidden you to sign any of their documentation.
Attempt by Insurance Companies (e.g. Sun Life)
Your insurance company may schedule and appointment for you to be assessed by a doctor or health care professional. You must attend these appointments unless you hear differently from our office.
If and when you are seen by a doctor or health professional hired by an insurance comapny, remember that you are being watched from the moment you open the door to their office to the moment you leave.
Be honest and upfront with these doctors and health professionals and do not exaggerate your symptoms or injuries… but remember, they have been hired by an insurance company!
Long Term Disability Challenges
If you are feeling unwell due to injuries, you should not simply ‘be brave’ or ‘grin and bear it’. You will need to make sure you get the proper rest in order to recover from your accident.
Visiting the Doctor for your Sun Life Disability Claim

- Physiotherapy
- Massage or any other physical treatment
- Painkillers
- Medication to help you sleep
- Psychologists or social workers
- Investigation other medical-rehabilitative products/services
