Your long term disability benefits have been approved.  Now what?  Unfortunately, an approval of benefits by disability insurance companies does not guarantee continued benefit payments.  The insurer will periodically monitor your claim to ensure you continue to satisfy the definition of disability under the terms of the policy.  During this time period, the disability insurance company will request and review updated information regarding your claim.
