Sickness Daily Allowance
If an employed person is unable to perform their usual work due to illness-related incapacity for work (fully or partially), a sickness daily allowance insurance often provides replacement benefits. If a period of incapacity for work lasts longer, the insurer usually contacts the insured person in some way and requests additional information, which may include an examination by a doctor appointed by the insurance. It often happens that the daily allowance insurer restricts or even refuses insurance benefits based on the clarification results. The field of sickness daily allowance insurance is an area in which the specialists at claims lawyers have a lot of know-how. This is evidenced by the fact that attorney David Husmann is co-author of the first comprehensive work on sickness daily allowance.
If a sickness daily allowance insurance restricts benefits or even fundamentally refuses them without understandable reasons, the legal situation should be reviewed.
