Time to vent again. I know it is too late now for any appeal, I tried that for a couple years. I begged, cried, and cried and cried. I paid for Long and Short term disability at the same company for over 30 years. After working as long as I possibly could, I was denied. I finally ,after living on and wiping out my retirement and 401k got my SSD after seeing a lawyer and a judge. I still cry sometime when I think of it and find myself in my current condition. Have had at least 2 more surgeries and take narcotic pain medication every day with very little relief. We are now living in a mobile home. Our whole lifestyle has changed. Living pay check to pay check after nursing for the same company for 30+ years just breaks my heart for my husband and I. We are just late 50’s and are dreams are gone for now. Oh how I wish I could go to work, but most days I can not go to the store. Anyway, I just can not believe that companies can actually do this to people. It could have mad such a difference in my life and Prudential would not have even felt a thing. They could have still built their stadium and every thing.

Cindy, Thank you for sharing your story. I can only imagine how hard it must be. Although there is no indication that any sweeping reform is on the way that will come that will prevent the insurance industry from acting the way they do; hopefully with enough outcry things will eventually change.
