Met Life is legalized extortion

I worked for Continental/United Airlines for 15 years and paid for long term disability for all of those years. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and could not work because I can’t walk from the diabetic Nuropathy in my legs and hips as well as other parts of my body. I ceased working in February 2014. I was approved for social security diasability but will not recieve that untill the fall. MetLife is supposed to pay me 60% of my pay untill 65 and will deduct ssd payment and only pay that amount to bring to total up to 60%. They are dragging their feet and I know why. They are waiting for SSD to kick in so they don’t have to pay the 60%. My comapnay is no help either. They were supposed to offer reasonable accomodation but, because of almalgamation of the two unions they to have threw me under the bus! I guess it’s true what they say about met life being legalized extortion. And they think organized crime is dead!
