Hartford very commonly denies long term disability benefits after a claimant has been paid for 24 months. In this long term disability claim our client was an office administrator disabled by fibromyalgia. Hartford tried to deny long term disability benefits and make it a 24 month mental nervous limitation claim. In this video, long term disability attorneys Stephen Jessup and Gregory Dell discuss the weakness in Hartford’s long term disability denial and the strategies we took to write a winning long term disability appeal. Hartford denied the claim based upon a file review by their own hired doctors. In our video we provide suggestions on how our client may have been able to avoid denial. Following submission of our ERISA appeal the benefit denial was reversed and all past due benefits were paid.
