“A teacher in Minnesota suffering from major depressive disorder, PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, and ADHD could not work for an extended period. She applied for Long Term Disability benefits under her Madison National policy, but they denied the claim on initial application stating that the documentation did not support total disability.
She turned to Fields Disability for assistance. The Fields Disability team gathered supporting documentation, including medical evidence and opinion letters from her medical providers, and submitted an administrative appeal challenging the denial. After reviewing all the additional information, Madison National reversed the initial decision. While the appeal was pending, her conditions improved, and she returned to work. Madison National paid her disability benefits for a closed period for the time that she had been disabled and unable to work.”

Spinal Stenosis, Radiculopathy, Chronic Neck Pain

In response to the appeal, Sedgwick overturned their prior determination and approved his claim, resulting a lump-sum payment and ongoing benefits.”
