I was told by my LTD provider that I am now on “permanent” status? Anyone familiar with this and what it entails? I’ve been on LTD for 6 plus years now. ---

Likely means that they will contact you yearly for updates as they can find no way to say you would be employable. That said-you just did the activity tracker–so I would think as a last chance effort they may use surveillance. ---

The insurance companies use computer systems that require them to “categorize” every claim. “Permanent Status” is a categorization that is commonly used. So, it means they have clicked a dropdown menu to categorize your claim as permanent status. This generally means they have accepted you have a long-term disability and will only need occasional updates from you. Keep in mind this is no guarantee they won’t change your status to “Approved - Under Investigation” in the future if a new claims manager comes along. * * * **David Brannen** Disability Lawyer with Resolute Legal _The response posted above is based on the limited factual information made available and is not intended as a full and complete response to the question.

Apparently I will get that status if my CPP-D is approved. I can see all sorts of bad stuff the insurance can do if I get denied the first time but I’m hoping for the best.
