Does Having a Stroke Qualify for Long Term Disability Benefits?

What is the purpose of long term disability insurance?

Long term disability insurance serves multiple purposes. To start, when someone is unable to return to work because of a debilitation medical condition or injury, they may seek long term disability benefits to help cover the cost of their medical bills, lost wages from being unable to return to work, and more. That being said, if you can prove that you qualify for long term disability benefits, you should receive either one lump-sum payment or monthly insurance payments.
