Another good piece of news for all the disability benefits. In the recent case of Toth v. INA judge granted the plaintiffs motion for motion is based on summary judgment, that the CIGNA who medical team, consisting of DRS. Dan Gerstenblitt and Paul Seiferth, evidence to back up their opinions of disability to indicate that the plaintiff does not offer treatment by doctors lacked objective evidence. Perhaps, the CIGNA doctors should leave the always the lawyers.

In many cases is one of the major problems that many debilitating diseases and syndromes of current conditions are objective tests. Insurance documentation, such as CIGNA, use this fact to claim, there is no evidence of obstruction, when in fact the evidence that they want to with current medical technology is out of reach.

In this case, the judge decided that this was not good enough for CIGNA denied benefits and that more than enough benefits in spite of the overwhelming record from the doctors, that much of it was justified based on "self-reports" from the plaintiff. This a great judgment, that it will reach the impossibility in fact a certain proof that insurance claim recognizes as necessary for the provision of benefits.
Read more, including the entire opinion on Toth v. INA, such as treatment of doctors opinions more weight than insurance doctors can hold.
