Disability Appeal A disability appeal in insurance is a process that allows a policyholder to challenge the denial of their disability insurance claim. If a policyholder's disability claim is denied, they will typically receive a denial letter from the insurance company. The denial letter will explain the reason for the denial and the policyholder's right to appeal.

Offsets are most common in disability insurance and workers' compensation, but they can also be found in other types of insurance, such as life insurance and health insurance. Insurance companies are not prohibited from applying offsets this because if you were allowed to keep the full amount of all of the various disability benefits to which you might be entitled, it would be possible for you to earn more money on disability than you would by working.

Expense offsets: Expense offsets reduce the amount of ben
