Child Support
In addition to seeking unpaid disability benefits, an individual can also sue for consequential and punitive damages. Consequential damages are those that an insured individual incurs in addition to not receiving benefits. For example, as a â€œconsequenceâ€ of not receiving benefits, a person will lose their home since they no longer can make mortgage payments. They no longer can pay bills, pay for prescriptions, pay child support and then may lose custody of their children.
