Federal Judge Grants Disability Insurer's Motion For Judgment On Pleadings

BOSTON - A Massachusetts federal judge on Oct. 16 granted a disability insurer's motion for judgment on the pleadings in a U.S. Army veteran's class action alleging that the insurer wrongfully offset disability benefits payable under its policy by disability benefits received from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs after determining that the remaining claims cannot stand based on the court's prior ruling that the offset was permitted under the plan (Marco Martinez v. Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, No. 16-12154, D. Mass., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 178188).
