RE: Anyone file an ERISA suit in federal court for disability appeal?

[Guest guest]

No, but please let me know how it goes and explain the process. I am

knocking into the same problem with disability from a private carrier.

Hi, you need to see your local CAB (citizens advice bureau) Here in the Uk we

have a slightly different system so would be worth trying to find a CAB office

failing that search the internet,

If you are a UK resident you can go to Directgov.org.uk for more information,

Lori,

I have had my Doctor send a letter concerning my state of health

and correct that Fibro is indeed a condition but I was awarded my disability

because my inability to work due to functional assessments.

If the Mayo Clinic accepts it as a disorder and Lymes is a infectious disorder

seems an appeal is worthwhile with a disability lawyer and then the private

insurance has to follow.

My private disability insurance tried to state I had back problems before my

auto accident and I had to prove I could stand after my surgery Aug and could

not after Jan in my auto accident. Thank goodness one of my students had taken a

picture of my standing at the blackboard writing out a lesson plan in front of

students !

This was the only reason they accepted my appeal as it had a date and time stamp

of late Sept that year, thus I was standing and teaching after my fusion

surgery.

It also won my insurance case. Lori, I do not know of an ERISA lawsuit but you

can contact me privately if I can be of help of my experience.
