Disability Insurance Attorney Andrew Kantor from Kantor & Kantor, LLP joins us to explain the ins and outs of filing for disability under an ERISA (employer-sponsored) Policy when disabled from ME/CFS.

We'll discuss common pitfalls patients face when applying, how to best protect yourself from a denial of benefits from a biased insurance company, and what to if you have received that denial.

Just started the process today, can already tell this is going to be a headache.
Insurance rep wanted to make it clear they only evaluate objective findings. Maybe I should invite them to spend a day in the life of ME.

I thought it was very helpful, especially if you get denied and need to appeal. The lawyer really understood ME/CFS and how to make the claim/appeal work for us. It said it would be recorded and made available at the Solve ME/CFS website. @Emily Taylor do you have the link?
