Customer Service Representative - Cary, NC
Bipolar II
“A Customer Service Representative in North Carolina stopped working due to emotional instability from his bipolar disorder. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits, but Metlife denied his claim stating that his medical records failed to show he was unable to return to work.
After learning this unfortunate news, he recognized that he needed help. He found Fields Disability and reached out for assistance. After reviewing his case, the Fields Disability attorneys determined his benefits were wrongly denied and started to work on an appeal researching relevant legal arguments to present on appeal. Our disability team assembled updated medical records, and requested a detailed report from our client’s treating provider. Our attorneys submitted the appeal, and, after reviewing the documentation, Metlife paid our client’s back benefits and paid ongoing benefits.”
Medical Support Specialist - Charlotte, NC
Cervical Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Migraines, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Restless Leg Syndrome, Major Depressive Disorder
“A Medical Support Specialist from North Carolina had to stop working due to cervical myofascial pain syndrome, migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome, restless leg syndrome, and major depressive disorder. She started receiving benefits, but after a period of time, Liberty Mutual terminated her Long Term Disability claim, stating that she did not meet the definition of disabled in the policy.
Upset by the sudden loss of income, she turned to the attorneys at Fields Disability to appeal this decision. Our disability team compiled all of our client’s medical records, and obtained favorable reports from her treating doctors. Utilizing the additional documentation, the Fields Disability attorneys submitted a comprehensive appeal. After receiving the appeal, Liberty Mutual restored our client’s benefits.”
Music Teacher - Dayton, NJ
Lupus, Diabetes, Chronic Migraines, Neuropathy
“A Music Teacher from New Jersey was taken out of work by her physicians due to Lupus, chronic migraines, and neuropathy. These conditions impaired her balance requiring her to use a cane to walk, impaired cognitive ability, and caused chronic pain and fatigue. She applied for disability benefits, but Prudential denied her benefits stating that her medical records did not provide substantial evidence to prove that she couldn’t do her job.
She decided to contact Fields Disability for assistance. Our disability team started gathering the necessary documentation to file the appeal. Our attorneys drafted the first appeal using all medical records and reports who supported our client’s claim for disability. Prudential upheld its denial stating that she had not satisfied the elimination period. The Fields Disability attorneys drafted another appeal that documented disabling medical evidence during the period of time that Prudential deemed our client not disabled. After the second appeal, Prudential paid our client back benefits and was put on claim.”
Bank Branch Manager - Jackson, NJ
Ulnar Nerve Injury, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Muscles Wasting, Radial Ulnar Joint Arthritis
“A Branch Manager for a bank in New Jersey fell at home and fractured her wrist. The fall damaged her ligaments, nerves, and bones that connect her arm and hand. Due to this injury, she contracted complex regional pain syndrome, essentially losing the use of her left arm. She applied and was approved for Long Term Disability through Liberty Mutual. After one year, her insurer terminated her claim, stating that her records no longer supported her inability to work.
Upset about the denial, alongside her condition worsening, she called Fields Disability for help. Our disability team obtained the claim file from Liberty Mutual. The Fields Disability attorneys found that Liberty Mutual overlooked key medical documents, and drafted a strong appeal based on updated records and new expert opinions. On appeal, our client was paid her past due benefits and was provided ongoing monthly benefits once again. ”
Retail Merchandiser - Clay, NY
Chronic Pain, Neuropathy, Low Back Pain, Radiculopathy
“A Retail Merchandiser from New York suffered from back pain, radiculopathy, and neuropathy in both feet so intense that pain medications no longer provided relief, forcing him to stop working. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits, but Liberty Mutual denied the claim stating his medical records did not support that he could not return to work.
Worried about his lost income, he called Fields Disability for help. Our disability team obtained the claim file from Liberty Mutual. On review, the Fields Disability attorneys found that Liberty Mutual was misinterpreting our client’s physical capabilities. We requested additional information and clarification from our client’s doctors. Our attorneys filed an appeal based on additional documentation. After a review, Liberty Mutual paid our client his back benefits and ongoing monthly benefits.”
