For my work, I’ve being presenting from time to time the functional ability form to support my working from home, and now the company hired a 3rd party where they sent me a form (claim form) requesting authorization to all my medical information (collection, use and disclosure) They added that I can refuse but that may affect eligibility
I am sorry to hear about the difficulties you have been having with your workplace accommodations. Unfortunately, this type of issue is both very common and very stressful.
From the information provided, it appears that the company is attempting to force you to go on disability benefits to avoid having to further accommodate you, and has referred this to its disability benefits provider.
The disability benefits provider has now sent you a claim form asking for authorization to review your medical information to assess if you are eligible for the disability benefits being claimed.
If you are not looking to stop work and go on disability benefits, this is obviously a problem. We can help you address this right away. Don’t sign anything yet, including any claim forms. Contact us, and a member of our intake team will reach out to guide you through the
