Federal Judge Remands A Portion Of Claim For Disability Benefits

NEW YORK - A New York federal judge on July 24 adopted a federal magistrate's recommendation to remand a long-term disability claim as it pertained to the claimant's physical disability, but not the claimant's psychiatric disability, because the evidence may support a finding that the claimant is physically disabled according to the terms of the plan (Marie Richter v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., No. 15-8266, S.D. N.Y., 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 115119).
