MetLife turned one hour of testing into the decision that I could work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week

I have been getting long term disability from MetLife for 5 years. It started with terrible back pain that radiates down both legs to my feet. It became unbearable and I would, at times, have to see myself to the restroom at work so that I could sit on the floor and cry like a baby. I ended up having spinal fusion surgery on the L5-S1 area and that is the point at witch I stopped working. The pain persisted but now there is an unpredictable weakness in my legs and a sharp shooting pain that causes my legs to give out without warning. I take strong medication for pain and some for the depression and anxiety the situation causes me. MetLife recently sent me for a functional capacity evaluation and then terminated my claim. I made the mistake of keeping my composure during the evaluation like I always had to do at work. I did not openly weep or make moaning or groaning noises and I gave it my best like I was asked to do. They turned that hour of testing into the decision that I could work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I am 2 days into my claim being shut down and am devastated. I have a wife and 12 year old child. I have pride and dignity and hate not working and providing and having severe restrictions, but it is what it is. I was ready to die before I stopped working if something didn’t change, and it did, I stopped working and being tortured by doing what I cannot. And now?
