Disability Claimant Is Not Entitled To Benefits Under Any-Occupation Standard

PHILADELPHIA - A district court did not err in finding that a disability claimant is not entitled to long-term disability (LTD) benefits under a plan's any-occupation standard because the medical evidence supports the plan's determination that the claimant was capable of performing full-time sedentary work, the Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals said Feb. 28 (Thomas P. Kelly Jr. v. The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co., et al., No. 18-1162, 3rd Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 6199).
