Unum has devious ways to diss you completely. I'm contacting my Reps, Senators, and the President

My son was diagnosed with extra, irregular heartbeats, which are very disruptive to your sleep, frightening, actually, and had a sleep study done to evaluate this condition. Because he could sleep only 3 1/2 hours, due to the disruptive activities occurring, his number attained was 4.6 out of 5. He was denied any paid leave, not even just for a six month leave from his pharmacy technician job. There was one woman in Columbia, SC whose home we found, thinking it was an address for the corporate office in Columbia, but it was a neighborhood a bit strange for such a corporation. She is the one who mails out the Denied Claim letters. She was nice enough to tell us that Colonial Life owns the company, which we didn’t know. We are having to file an appeal due to Unum/Colonial Life’s tricky, devious ways of just dissing you completely. There is a corporate office there, so we will be booking an appointment for the next trip to Columbia. My son’s claim is actually a moderate gross income monthly of $1390 for 30 hours as Pharmacy Tech.. This should be approved and the company would not be in danger over a brief 6 month period. A Health Advocate somehow got onto my phone number, was listening when I was trying to reason with Unum. This is really sad and we will fill the appeal and also contact our Reps and Senators, President Obama and others. We’re praying hard for some real help from Unum very soon.
