Question

[Guest guest]

To all,

My long tem disability ( Met Life ) that I had through work kicked me to the

curb May of 08. I appealed their discoing and provided them with all the info I

could. On Christmas eve I got an e-mail from Met Life saying that my appeal has

been denied. A couple of things really concerned me, one they said my last day

of work was due to a concussion and I have chronic polyarthritis. Boy I wish

that is all I suffered from my life would be a breeze! Then back in September

the joints in my left foot swelled something fierce and I went to my PCP and the

and she thought I had gout which I tested negative for. Met Life jumped all

over that saying besides testing negative for gout my sed. rate was normal. If

the would have checked my charts from my RD they would have seen my white cell

count has been high for the last two years and my ferritin levels have been high

for the last several months.

Met Life stated that I have exhausted my appeals ( I will never watch peanuts

on TV ever again!) So I was wondering if it was in my rights to hire a attorney

since there is so many holes in their report. Any advice would be greatly

appreciated.

Thanks,

Brett
