Several insurance companies have policies where they will not offer Short Term or Long Term disability coverage or approve claims for veterans or other individuals if the insurance company determines that the time taken off from work is due to a war related injury. This is an unreasonable stipulation based on the number of individuals injured during time of war who will require medical care for the rest of their lives, for which they will need to take time off from work.
Federal policy should be established which makes it illegal to deny Short Term and/or Long Term disability coverage to individuals injured during times of war.
