Disability Claimant Permitted To Supplement Record With Treating Physician's Letter

SAN DIEGO - A California federal judge on March 23 permitted a disability claimant to supplement the administrative record to add a letter from his treating physician, noting that the letter will help to clarify the ambiguity of the physician's response to a question posed by the disability insurer (Thomas Reddick v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., et al., No. 15-2326, S.D. Calif., 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 42649).
