Lincoln denied our client’s long-term disability claim, asserting that he could perform his sedentary occupation as a project manager. However, its vocational analysis incorrectly characterized the position as requiring only occasional keyboarding.

Our team appealed with updated medical records, a functional capacity evaluation, a medical opinion form, and a vocational evaluation. This evidence showed that Lincoln’s occupational analysis was inaccurate and that our client could not sustain sedentary work due to his chronic pain and significant spinal conditions.

Lincoln overturned its denial and approved his long-term disability benefits.

Congratulations to attorney Kaitlyn Barciszewski, paralegal Aya Abdelfattah, and our client on this victory!

Congratulations to Attorney Kaci Garrabrant for securing long-term disability benefits for our client.

Our client sustained a traumatic brain injury early in life but continued working for many years in cybersecurity. As his memory and cognitive difficulties worsened, he was diagnosed with a neurocognitive disorder.

Matrix denied his claim, finding that he could return to his own occupation. After our team submitted updated neuropsychological testing, medical records, and statements from his treating physicians, Matrix reversed its decision and approved his long-term disability benefits.

Special thanks to our intake team, Emily, Terrance, Will, and Lilly, for their support!

Claim denied or terminated? We can help. Call (877) 634-2506.

Attorney Kaitlyn and Paralegal Ren secured long term disability benefits from Hartford for their client after an initial denial.

The client suffers from diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, lumbar spondylosis with radiculopathy, restrictive lung disease, heart conditions, long COVID syndrome, chronic pain syndrome, chronic migraines, osteoarthritis, and several other serious conditions.

Hartford denied the claim, stating that the client could perform four sedentary occupations, even though its own reviewing doctor found that she did not have sedentary work capacity.

On appeal, our team submitted updated medical records, medical opinion forms, a functional capacity evaluation, and a vocational evaluation demonstrating that the client lacked both sedentary work abilities and transferable skills. Based on this evidence, Hartford overturned its denial and approved long term disability benefits.
Congratulations to Kaitlyn, Ren, and our intake team for their work on this case.
Denied benefits do not have to be the end of the story.

Attorney Kaci and Paralegal Aya secured continued long term disability benefits from New York Life after their client’s benefits were terminated.

The client worked as a nurse practitioner before contracting COVID-19 and developing POTS. She experienced debilitating fatigue and heart palpitations that prevented her from returning to work. Although New York Life initially approved her claim, it later terminated her benefits after determining that she could return to her own occupation.

On appeal, our team submitted a functional capacity evaluation, updated medical records, and statements demonstrating that the client could not perform even basic activities of daily living without assistance.
Based on that evidence, New York Life reversed its decision and approved the client’s continued long term disability benefits.

Congratulations to Kaci and Aya on their work on this case.
