Can I file a long-term disability claim if I am still working?
Typically, you must stop working or dramatically reduce your working hours to qualify for disability benefits. However, depending on your disability and the language of your policy, you might be able to continue working and still be eligible for partial disability benefits.
Depending on your disability, you may not be able to perform the duties of your original occupation, but you may be able to take on a new job that accommodates your disability. In such cases, due to your inability to continue in your original role, you may still qualify for benefits while you continue working. It is crucial that, if you continue to work at a different job, you only complete work that you are capable and comfortable doing. Your disability claim for benefits is contingent upon your inability to perform the duties required of your original job.
