Lalande Disability Lawyers are one of Ontario’s top disability law firms that are based in Hamilton and serve individuals in Ontario and nationwide. Our disability law firm offers free consultations to all individuals denied or cut-off their long-term short or long-term disability benefits. We know you might not know The consultation meeting is a chance for you to learn your legal options.
During your free consultation, we will discuss your disability and illness or injuries which prevent you from working, as well as your work history. We will talk about your life history, medical history, mental health history and as well as any adverse traumatic events in your life. As disability lawyers, we believe that traumatic events in an individual’s history can have long-lasting effects on mental health that persist as they age. The lingering impact of trauma can lead to chronic mental health conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, or substance abuse disorders. As a person ages, the coping mechanisms they may have developed earlier in life can become less effective or be complicated by the natural cognitive and emotional changes associated with aging.
Furthermore, the onset of age-related health problems or life changes like becoming empty-nesters can re-trigger past trauma or exacerbate existing mental health conditions. This complex interplay between past trauma and aging may result in a higher vulnerability to mental health challenges, difficulty in maintaining relationships, diminished quality of life, or even a decreased ability to take care of oneself, reinforcing the need for appropriate support and treatment tailored to an individual’s unique history and present circumstances.
In terms of documentation – it is essential to be prepared for the consultation. Bring any relevant documents with you, including any correspondence you might have had with your disability adjuster – including your benefits termination or denial letter.
