Hardening program

Hello,

Last January is when I reached the LTD 2 year anniversary. My file has been reviewed by the insurance’s expert, without asking for an update from my physician, who say that I am capable of working a sedentary job.

There are no documents in my file that indicate I am able to work and my physician would not support this and knows my multiple restrictions both physical and mental and has already notified the insurance in July. I’ve also had a new diagnosis that may complicate one of my original diagnosis and have sent that report to them (I have a few because my body failed me on an extraordinary basis)

I have been approved for DTC in Jan 2025 until 2030 but didn’t know I needed to tell the insurance. I will tell them now after reading some of the posts. I can’t see my doctor until May 15th but they want me to start a hardening program before that. Am I allowed to decline until I’ve spoken with my doctor because I’m worried it may cause more harm than good at the moment?

Who is the work hardening program with? Usually the insurance companies hire a third company to do them.
