Hi when I got denied for the second time I was very up set; it's been a week now and I've been thinking about : is it normal to get denied even when you ( well I heard Nash was the best ) even after having a 4.6starred lawyer; I can't work my mental disability won't let meee hold down a job: believe…
Good law firm thanks for helping me Nicole
I am very satisfied with all that you have done for me. I started in 2021 didn't think that I was going to get approved but you kept on. Now it is 2023 and I finally got it. So thank you very much for all your hard work. Dianne Walkup in Oklahoma

This calculator adds two numbers. Back pay is the monthly benefit your policy should have paid (after any SSDI offset) multiplied by the months it has been unpaid. Future benefits are the same monthly amount until benefits normally end at age 65, converted to today's value with a discount rate. Insurers rarely pay the full future value in a lump sum, so the estimate also shows the range buyouts typically land in, which depends on whether you are still being paid, were cut off, or were denied from the start.
General information about Illinois disability insurance law, not legal or tax advice. The estimate is not a guarantee: your policy wording, medical evidence, offsets and the insurer's position all change the answer. A disability lawyer can tell you how these rules apply to you.
