Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against The Hartford.
Linda – Technical Writer – Fort Smith, Arkansas
Complex Multifactorial and Disabling Chronic Pain Syndrome with Axial Neck and Lumbar Pain, Multiple Spine Surgeries, Chronic Lumbar and Cervical Radiculopathy, Arthritis Related Joint Pain in all Four Extremities, Multilevel Degenerative Disc Disease, Spondylosis, Radiculopathy, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
A technical writer for a business office developed multilevel degenerative disc disease and radiculopathy over the course of her career. She was covered under a Long Term Disability policy, and applied for benefits after her date of disability. She was initially approved, and was on claim until her policy’s definition of disability changed from Own Occupation to Any Occupation.
She needed help appealing The Hartford’s denial decision and hired Fields Law. The Fields Law team ordered updated medical records, requested her Social Security Disability claim file, and secured a letter of support from her primary treating physician. The Fields Law lawyers also crafted pointed arguments within the appeal, addressing all of the claims The Hartford made in their denial letter. We submitted the appeal and, after several months of consideration, The Hartford approved the appeal, overturning their prior denial decision and reinstating our client’s Long Term Disability benefits.
