They are just looking to offset your benefit amount if you are in fact approved for SSD. Just wanted to be sure you weren't giving up on LTD while you wait for SSD approval which for some can take years.
Thanks, & oh heck no I wouldn't give up LTD as long as I can get it. I know to expect SSD to take quite some time.
I used up 60 P.T. visits (allowed by insurance) in 5 months trying so agressively to get this to "snap out of it". I'm glad for the new year to go back to that.
It just feels weird. I'm 54 y/o and have almost always worked (2 1/2 yr. time out for kids). Have never even tried in my life to collect any benefit in this way.
