Read time: 1 minute

We’re excited to announce a new report in our Designed for Health series: Shifting tides in disability claims —Addressing mental health and chronic disease in the workplace.

Key report insights:

To create this report, we compiled and analyzed data from over 1.5 million plan members with long-term disability (LTD) insurance. The report highlights drug claims data we’ve examined and adds further insight into the trends we’re uncovering. Here are some key insights:

• Mental disorder claims continue to drive overall LTD claim volumes, representing almost 40% of claims in 2024.
• Adjustment and anxiety disorders have been making up an increasing share of claims, reflecting persistent stress, change and uncertainty since the pandemic.
• Over half of plan members are living with one or more chronic conditions. This is driving the incidence and complexity of disability claims.
• Cancer claims are rising, especially among plan members under 50 years old.

The report also includes solutions you can promote with your Clients to help them maintain a healthy workforce.
