Welcome to Season 5, Episode 18 of Winning Isn't Easy. In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Should Your Workers’ Compensation Records Be Part of Your ERISA Disability Carrier’s File."

What seems like a routine paperwork decision could quietly sabotage your ERISA Long-Term Disability claim. Join attorney Nancy L. Cavey, a nationally recognized expert in disability law, as she explores a critical - but often misunderstood - question: should your workers’ compensation records be included in your ERISA disability file? It’s not just red tape. When both claims stem from the same injury or illness, what goes into your file - and what stays out - can shape the entire outcome of your case. We’ll examine how the two systems interact, why adding workers’ compensation records might work for you in some cases but backfire in others, and the troubling reality of selective use: when insurers cherry-pick damaging details from your records but leave out the parts that could actually help you. This is one of those behind-the-scenes moves that can define your financial future - and most claimants never see it coming. Tune in to learn how to navigate this legal gray area, avoid common traps, and make informed decisions about what belongs in your disability file.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:

One - The Relationship Between Workers' Compensation and ERISA Disability Claims

Two - When Workers’ Compensation Records Help or Hurt Your ERISA Claim

Three - The Problem of Selective Omission by Disability Carriers

Whether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey. Don't miss it.
