That seems like a long time to approve a claim. I had a claim last year for my shoulder. I actually almost fucked myself because I hurt myself in Jan. and waited all the until March to make the claim which is a big no no with them. The last thing I wanted to do was make a claim, I was hoping it would just fix itself. It got the the point where I couldn't take the pain anymore and I thought that perhaps I had fucked my rotator cuff in my shoulder.

Once I explained that I was working through it and wasn't trying to take time off I just wanted it treated via physio or whatever else had to be done they approved the claim pretty quickly but again scolded me for taking so long to file it. To be honest I thought it was kind of dumb because here I am trying to save them and my employer money but I'm the bad guy for not claiming an injury right away. My shoulder still isn't 100% but it's better then it was.

In short, ya that seems like a long time and something is going on there. I think it took me a week and a half before they started paying for treatment.
