Hi Guys, many of you know that I stopped working last December and have been fighting the insurance company the entire time. I had short-term and long-term disability benefits that were paid for by my employer. Well, they denied me twice and I filed my final administrative appeal and they had to notify me by Dec 12 of thier decision. They just called and I have been approved!! I am shocked and thankful and excited and I don't know what else...been having a rough time lately and have been up since 1:15 am so this is a nice thing to hear today.

The analyst said they are paying the full six month short-term benefit and sending it over to the long-term department. They should be contacting me next week. I am so happy and proud of myself...I did these appeals without the help of an attorney. I am so thankful to my primary care dr as she wrote a great letter on this last appeal. I am gonna hug her when I see her tomorrow!

I was gonna take a nap since I have been up so long, but now I am wide awake!!

Anyway, I had to share since many of you gave me great tips and good luck wishes.
