Sun Life Long Term Disability Complaints

Benefits Packages from Sun Life can be denied on a whim. Don’t get discouraged – customers are usually not at fault. Your denial and long term disability complaint may have arisen as a result from a bureaucracy designed to capitalize on your investment and, in some cases, not give it back when it’s needed.

Benefits Packages are usually purchased by responsible employers from Insurance Companies such Sun Life. These Insurance Companies have a duty to treat you with the healthcare you deserve. However, in some cases, denial letters will be issued to claimants. If this is the case, you will be sent a letter, or, advised in writing with details of the information required to appeal. We highly recommend contacting a lawyer in this case.

Long Term Disability Complaints: The Appeal

There are multiple stages to an appeal. If you have a Long Term Disability Complaint that has not been put through the Sun Life Appeal system, contact a lawyer immediately. For information on the Waiting Period , please click here .

1. 1st Appeal: Sun Life’s Abilities Case Manager (ACM) will review your information and, if the information is incorrect, or, insufficient, your information and claim is sent to the Sun Life Management Unit for review.
2. 2nd Appeal: The Sun Life Management Unit will review your information, and, if the information is incorrect, or, insufficient, your information and claim is sent to the Disability Insurance Plan Board of Management. Sun Life will send a letter to you explaining the “final” decision. If your claim remains closed, the appeal process will have completed.
3. 3rd Appeal: If you choose to request an independent review by the Disability Insurance Plan Board of Management, this is the 3rd and final step to an appeal. The Board will review your case and recommend steps to resolve the conflict between the insurer and yourself. Again, we highly recommend working with a lawyer if your claim has been repeatedly denied . The DI Plan Board of Management has management and federal public service union representatives who report to the National Joint Council. PLEASE NOTE: The board’s recommendations are not legally binding (they do not require either party to take action), however, this level of appeal has been effective in many cases towards providing a resolution.
