Disability Insurer Did Not Misclassify Claimant's Own Occupation, Federal Judge Says

KALAMAZOO, Mich. - A disability insurer did not act arbitrarily and capriciously when it classified a claimant's own occupation as sedentary because it relied on information from the claimant and the claimant's employer, a Michigan federal judge said Aug. 15 (Daniel Venier v. Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston, No. 15-1016, W.D. Mich., 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 129691).
