I worked for UPS for about 14 years as a driver, when suddenly I got a severe pain in my back while lifting a package. I was in so much pain that I could not work. I will spare you are the details of what a horrible bunch of inhuman pieces of you know what UPS management is. I was told that I never could of hurt my back on the job. I don’t know if many of you know what our job entails , but it is a very demanding job both mentally and physically. My Union (Teamsters) hired me legal representation and after a year and a half UPS charged it to Workmans Comp and had it paid by another insurance company. In the mean time Aetna is suppose to pay me a percentage of my wage up to 5 years. It is actually $3,000 a month, due to the hourly wage of $35.10 I was making. I am scheduled to have my fourth knee surgery , 2 on each knee , and I was diagnosed with manic bi polar disorder and severe anxiety disorder. I was having panic attacks so often and so bad, that you thought you were having a heartache. The exact same symptoms and you thought for sure you were dying. The most horrible thing I have ever experienced. Now Aetna contacts me to inform me that Im a prime candidate for disability and they hired a very experienced and reputable company named Allsup to represent me. I know how slimy insurance companies work. The sooner I’m on disability, the sooner they stop paying me. Then after I got everything lined up with Allsup for my disability hearing, Aetna sends me a letter saying that I should be able to find work as a stamp licker and January 21st 2017, my money is cut off. One minute they tell me I can’t work, then Im fine too. They have all my medical records and doctors recommendations, so those cheap SOB’s are full of shit. I have 4 titanium pins holding my spine in place, one knee after 2 operations hurts worse than it did, and the other one has a torn meniscus for the second time. There are days when my back and knees both act up that I can’t even walk. Aetna said that there should be something I can do within my long list of restrictions from my back sorgeon. They only pay if your off due to work related issues for up to 5 years per our union contract. the problem is that Aetna didn’t realize I got paid for a knee injury also, so they did not take into consideration my restrictions from my knee surgeon. They say my mental health issues don’t fall under under work related, but the way I was treated after all those years of loyal service without a single injury, it made my mood go haywire. The stress flared up my manic episodes where you’ll literally stay up for days without sleep for no reason. Its just the fact you can’t slow your brain and body down. Aetna is a bunch of hypocrites and your typical slimy, rip off ,no pay low life insurance company. I hope the CEOs or whoever makes those rules to screw the needy knows that one day they’ll meet their maker. I know that greed and selfishness doesn’t set to well with the big man. Id rather die a poor man money wise, at least knowing ill die a rich man from helping others when possible and being kind and compassionate towards my deserving fellow man. I wouldn’t let Aetna put insurance on my worst enemy or even the neighbors dog I don’t like. They even deserve better. I hope they can honestly go to bed with a clear concious at night, because I know I truly do. In the afterlife I would dress light, Aetna the crooked, dishonest company. Im sure some of your sheepeople will follow. No brains makes it easy to control your employees, but not me.

Rob, you are a victim of an all too common insurance practice. They require you to apply for SSDI as the policy requires it so they can save money, but still evaluate the claim to finds ways to terminate your benefits. Please feel free to contact our office to discuss your claim, the denial of benefits and your right to appeal.
