Disability Cancellation

Hello, My husband has been an adhesion suffer for the past ten years and has had several surgeries to try and help but nothing worked. He is in pain 24/7. Now we find out that his insurance company is planning on closing his case the end of this month (Aug. 2004).

He has been on long term disability from his company since May 1999, so tihs is not something new. About half way through this, the disability insurance co. that his company uses changed. Now we are being told that since Metlife, the new one, took over, they had his classified for depression, not pain. AND there is a 24 month limit on disability due to a mental health disorder. We have tried expaining that this is secondary to his pain/adhesion condition but so far nothing.

Can anyone advise us what to do? We are just floored that they'd try this after him being on disability for over 5 years. If we should hire a lawyer, what kind? Any recommendations? Please email me ASAP with any help you can offer. Thank you! Beth
