I received a one-time payment for an awarded permanent partial disability, and now DAL says I have to pay that back to them as an additional offset to the LTD plan.
Not whining too much, but it seems to me that payment for an OJI permanent disability should not be subject to recapture by the LTD plan. In my case, it was several thousand dollars.
I can't find anything in the PWA that addresses this, and all the Dalpa types are tied up in the MEC meeting. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards to all.....
What State are you in?
Write them back, state that you have a question about their request and ask them to provide documentation for the basis of their demand. At least that will show you where to look without spending $250 an hour or more on local Counsel.
Insurers generally have to provide complete copies of your policy on request.
