Here's a good question. I purchased Aflac at work about 6 months ago. Last month I had knee surgery due to increasingly frequent dislocations and problems at work (as though I would know when it was going to dislocate!) Anyway, it's been a month and a half since I've made my claim and they have thus far refused to pay it as my knee is a pre-existing condition. 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,
Lori Lee
