Have You Been Denied Benefits for Mental Illness?
Mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety, are disabling and can prevent you from being able to work normal hours or hold a job. Yet, when filing a disability claim, the insurance provider may deny the benefits you need. They also could place a limit on how long the benefits are available.
The Law Office of P. Randall Noah can help make sure you receive the benefits you are entitled to. We provide legal representation in filing administrative appeals and lawsuits against the long-term disability (LTD) provider that rejected your claim.

Our Approach to Obtaining Disability Benefits
One of the first things we do when challenging a rejected disability claim is getting the facts of your illness. We understand that your mental illness may have resulted from a physical disability or disease, such as cancer. By reviewing past medical records and obtaining doctors' reports, we tie the two together and strengthen your overall claim.
Once we understand your medical history, we can apply ERISA and private disability insurance case law to your specific situation. In addition, we examine your policy to determine if there was a breach of contract or if the claim denial was due to valid insurance limitations.
Our three-prong approach allows us to look at your case from multiple angles. We can then determine whether filing an appeal is the best course of action. We also may explore options for a lawsuit against your disability insurance provider.
