I bought long term disability insurance, I was hurt at work and denied workmans comp. I filed a claim with the short and long term disability. I was approved for state disability, and they paid me back from the time I was hurt. Now the long term disability wants their money back. I also have a law suit against the workers comp insurance. Shouldn't the long term disability only get their money back if I win the workers comp. case?

I have been on disability for 14 years due to bipolar disorder that is very severe. I improved recently, but not enough to even return to work part time, and this is part of being bipolar.

I suspect she was asked to state what my functional limitations were, right off the top of her
