Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: APPEAL OF CANCELLATION AND CLOSURE OF DISABILITY BENEFITS
I filed for short-term disability benefits on 04/02/2021. On 04/15/2021, I received a letter informing me that the XXX Team had reviewed my claim and made a determination that my claim was a duplicate request for a previously denied claim. I was also informed that I am only eligible for disability benefits for my own medical condition and not that of a family member. I believe this is in response to the fact that I had to take care of my mother when she had cardiac arrest. My manager, Mr. XXX, put in some sick leave days for me until 04/14/2021. I am writing this letter to appeal the determination of the XXX Team and to provide more information as to why my claim should be allowed.
My sick leave period was from 04/02/2021 to 04/14/2021. I was supposed to return on 04/14/2021. When I returned to work, I was denied access and the system showed that I was still on leave when I was not. I authorized Mr. XXX to call and rectify the error. Instead, Mr. XXX cancelled my claim. I received the letter that contained the determination on 04/15/2021. I did not authorize Mr. XXX to cancel my claim. On 04/27/2021, my employment at XXX was terminated because my claim was cancelled. There was miscommunication between Mr. XXX and I. he cancelled my claim when I did not authorize him to.
When I applied for short-term disability benefits, I applied for my own medical condition and not that of my mother. After my mother had cardiac arrest, I sunk into depression as a result and I had to see a psychiatrist to help me battle depression. I was unable to focus on work. Following medical advice from my psychiatrist, I had to stay out of work. I have attached documentation from my psychiatrist proving this. I wish to clarify that I did not apply for disability benefits for my mother’s cardiac arrest. I applied because of severe depression.
I urge the XXX Team to review its decision in light of the fact that there was a misunderstanding between Mr. XXX and I that is the reason for the determination issued on 04/15/2021. I would also like to be reinstated to my employment as Insert Job Title with full salary, allowances and benefits. I am ready to appear before you to clarify anything or to provide any additional information you may require. Thank you for taking your time to read this letter. I hope to receive a positive response from you.
Yours Sincerely,
