Would the fact that I have RSD and am unable to work be a completely seperate thing to file for STD through Aflac for? I know that most everyone on the site has had their own financial adjustment to make to this disease, so I thought that maybe someone out there would know.
Many thanks,

MY BROTHER USED TO WORK FOR AFLAC AND THIS IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY 2 UR QUESTION DEAR........ Id tell her to get the diagnosis papers and any dr apts she has gone to for RSD and give them to her agent. this sounds like they didnt pay for the knee surgery, but nothing was said about her trying to get payment for any monies lost due to rsd. Just as long as she was diagnosed for RSD after she got aflac, she is still making her payments, and it is the sickness insurance (or disability if she is off of work for over a week). If she has any other coverage through aflac it wont be covered.
HOPES THIS HELPS A LIL
