Add Comment Question: I have a long duration designation and receiving a monthly benefit based on 2019 salary scales. Can I request a new calculation and an increase to my monthly benefit due to contractual increases in in my profession over last two years. (estimate of 5% increase to my colleague's salaries) Answer: This would typically only be permitted if you have a Cost of Living Adjustment ("COLA") term (which is sometimes called different things) in your LTD Policy.
