Disability Insurer's Denial Of Claim Warranted Based On Pre-Existing Condition

JACKSON, Miss. - A disability claimant is not entitled to long-term disability (LTD) benefits because the plan's pre-existing condition limitation bars benefits because the claimant was treated for back pain within the plan's look-back period, a Mississippi federal judge said Jan. 24 (Gary Bales v. Hartford Life& Accident Insurance Co., No. 15-790, S.D. Miss., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 11180).
