Disabled NFL Player

Disabled NFL Player. Fighting for the benefits of the disabled NFL players.

@JCTretter When you say “United”, does that include us, the forgotten 400?

[Sheilla Dingus @SheillaDingus]

Active Players - you're going to need the disability benefits that were in effect prior to the 2020 CBA. Fight to get the SSA determinations off the bargaining table before it's too late.

[Women of the Retired & Disabled NFL @WomenoftheNFL]

Benefits of #nfl DISABLED player from decades ago should not have ever been used to bargain with. The 20-25% cuts to fixed income, funds used for their care & supporting their families bc they cant work need to be taken off the table. More work needs to be done. #Forgotten400

But If their applications were received between 4/1/2020 and 3/31/2021, then they will get benefits up until 3/31/2021 if their last season is more than 7 years ago. The most a non-vested player outside of 7 years would get is 1 year of payments of approved. 🙄

[Benefits Huddle @BenefitsHuddle]

So much for "fairer access" to the neurocognitive disability benefit for non-vested Players. Vested Players already receiving NCD benefits and those with pending applications from before 4/1/2020 are getting screwed out of future benefits as well.

I believe it is one of the reasons we won’t make it to our 20th wedding anniversary in March. And it’s absolutely devastating. #CTEAwarenessDay

NFLPA CBA 2020 - FORGOTTEN 400 https://t.co/DoKNmvmywg via @YouTube

[Benefits Huddle @BenefitsHuddle]

Many disabled Former NFL Players who elected to take their pensions received a hefty deposit today without any explanation. It’s likely to be retro payment of pension increases under CBA that go back to April 1. Expect equal clawback from Disability Plan in coming months.

[Disabled NFL Player @DisabledNfl]

@NFLPA Thank the Lord for those who voiced their concerns and those who fought for us disabled. Now if the NFLPA can go back and honor the “lifetime” benefits, that’ll be the right thing to do. Grandfather it in.

[Disabled NFL Player @DisabledNfl]

I feel you bro

[Disabled NFL Player @DisabledNfl]

This should help us prepare for the bigger battle ahead. But at least we have some time

[Benefits Huddle @BenefitsHuddle]

Great news and an early Christmas present for the disabled players facing a reduction in their benefits next month. These benefit changes should have never been on the table to begin with and future implementation should be eliminated.

[NFLCSFacts @NFLObjectors]

@SheillaDingus It sunsets in 2024. De Smith and his stooges are still collecting checks. @RoxyGordon16 @KMajik7 and the families don’t back down. Permanent reversal ONLY. Those who perpetrated the theft must be publicly exposed and fired. Reasonable lawyer fees should paid be the PA. #NFLPA

[Benefits Huddle @BenefitsHuddle]

@NFLObjectors @SheillaDingus @RoxyGordon16 @KMajik7 Yes! But Elimination of SSA as a determining factor for T&P will be bigger problem in 2024. These same players who were subject to SSA offsets now may face 100% reduction of benefits when removed from T&P after evaluation by Plan neutral physicians.

Breathing....

[Sheilla Dingus @SheillaDingus]

Seems litigation has already had an impact. At least disabled players can now breathe a sigh of relief for now.

[Disabled NFL Player @DisabledNfl]

@E_Reid35 @meiselasb @GencoLaw Thank you everyone who is fighting for the disabled. I hope you know how big this is for our family! It means we can stay in our house and come up with some kind of plan

[Benefits Huddle @BenefitsHuddle]

Reopening criteria still won’t provide evaluations for majority of disabled Players awaiting decisions on their applications or appeals 🤬🙄
1. Delay✔️
2. Deny (pending)
3. Hope you die (pending)

[Disabled NFL Player @DisabledNfl]

@DawnNeufeld Take his whole season paycheck too. Assault.

[Disabled NFL Player @DisabledNfl]

Anxiety is full blown. $2500 a month CUT from #NFL DISABILITY check begins in 2 months. House refinanced, budget cuts from food, heat, kids activities, family health insurance, & medicine. #forgotten400 #reevaluated
