My wife and her employer had paid into Cigna disability policy for at least 10 years. She had worked for the company for 20 years. The company discharged my wife saying she was to disabled to work. So she filed a claim with Cigna insurance company in June of 2004. After several appeals and denials. It is now May 13, 2005 she is still fighting with the company to get what is due her. She was given Social Security disability. But the insurance company still refuses to pay. Saying they do not base there decision on Social Security determination. The the United states of America says she is disabled but Cigna insurance company says she is not. In the last year we have had to apply for Welfare benefits dodged I forgot how many shut off notices. An now there is real danger of our car being repossessed! Maybe its time the fraud by insurance companies is address in addition to people trying to defraud insurance companies.
