My union told me that it wasn't covered under "the contract." My attorney reviewed my case and medical records. The key information was in the underlying policy not the information given to the employees. My attorney contacted the insurance company for a copy of the underlying policy and then pointed out to them their errors in responding to my claim. I didn't have to go to court. > I would really appreciate some input from those on this list. > > A few months ago I went on my company's disability plan.
