I'm lost here too. I was injured in a motorcycle accident in Apr '14. I received 6 mos of STD bennies which were pathetic. That ended in Oct, and I've not been paid a dime since. I tried two mos. before STD expired, but Aetna claimed I wasn't in their system (20 year UPSer). Now they say they can and will take up till Jan 9 to approve OR deny my claim, but that they will reduce whatever amount I receive by the $ amount I get as a disabled veteran. I receive my VA bennies as a driver, but not on LTD for a different injury!!!?? I think there's a lot of fine print that's left out of our contracts. What a joke!!!

Thanks man. I intended to give the LTD carrier a heads up 15 weeks into my short term. I don't know how it's possible, but it took UPS contacting Aetna to get their stuff right. I tried and tried, but was delayed time and again. They'd tell me they were emailing each other often, but were not allowed to copy me in these emails. Trust me, it's a broken system. The fact that they can deny me doesn't even make sense.About $500.00 a week, minus State taxes ?
How is that possible ?
If you wait until your STD expires.... that would explain the delay.
How do they know you receive benefits from the VA ?
It's not related to your claim.... so I am confused.
Have you talked to your Local Union BA ?
