This private company also decided she is capable to return to work.

I dont know what she does, but let's say she's a VP somewhere, do you really think that being able to go to a party, makes you able to be a VP somewhere?

And she is being insured against losing the ability to perform HER job......not just ANY job. Just because she might be capable of working at McDonalds doesn't mean she's capable of going back to her old job.

No, her training and education qualify her for doing her job. Her partying and vacationing prove she is fit enough to continue life, she is fit enough to return to work. Sorry I don't find that serious depression. If you are depressed enough to require clinical treatment to the fact that you belong in a nuthouse, sure I can see insurance coming into play, but if you can go out and party and go to the beach, you can go to fucking work.

I am not telling her to go to mcdonalds, I am telling her she needs to go back to the job she was trained and qualified for to resume her work. If she is uncapable of that, she needs to find another line of work.

I bet she's depressed now.

Sooner or later people will realize it's pretty ignorant to post all kinds of crazy pics of yourself on these sites.

cuz a photo at a bar or party proves that someone was having a good time......lulz

that's kind of like saying a photo of you hugging some chick proves you're cheating

Well if you're receiving benefits for not working because you're too depressed it is pretty ignorant to post pics of yourself at a Chippendales show.

You can't seem to comprehend that the insurance co. was insuring her for her specific job. Not just any job. Assuming she was a VP, it takes a lot of skill and mental focus to do that kind of job. Are you saying that just because she was capable of going to a party that she is capable of working as a VP as effectively as she did before?

Let's say you are an assembly line worker, you lose your legs in an accident........Theoretically you could still do your job in a wheelchair, but your productivity would be only a fraction of what it used to be. Are you saying that person doesn't deserve coverage, because you think he "could" go back to work?

true, but ignorance isn't the question here......

It's the same thing we've been telling folks for a long time. If you don't want someone to know about it, don't post it on the internet.

Now, if you have your filters set properly, and only your friends can view your profile, pics, wall, etc., and someone from the insurance company posed as a "friend" to gain access to your information, then that's another matter entirely. In that case, my lawyer would definitely be involved.

So, IMO, if she can work, have fun at parties, take a vacation, she can work.

I am not saying she will perform at 100%. Do you have days that you feel like shit and don't perform 100% at your job. All I am saying she is fit enough to go party and go on vacation, she is fit enough to work. I am not saying she will do the best job ever or that she will work so hard she will get a raise/promotion, but that she is fit enough to work. I don't believe depression is an applicable use of sick leave when you can go on vacation with no trouble. Again if you are depressed enough to the point you need hospitalization, that's a different story.

Depends, did you lose your legs in a work accident or did you lose your legs in your own time? If it's a work accident, there are all sorts of avenues that you can go from workers comp and such. If you can continue work after the accident, you can come back otherwise the company would be violating disabilities act, no matter your "productivity level." If it is a offsite work accident, there is specific insurance for disability/dismemberment. This type of thing is much much more regulated than "depression."

Look at this more like if you hurt your back, if they find pics of you mowing the yard and putting down mulch and such, guess what, you are abusing the system. If you are depressed, maybe you shouldn't be taking vacations and partying.
