Waiting for LTD Decision- Not sure if I’m supposed to do anything else?
Hi everyone.
Summary:
My STD expires in about a month, and I filed for LTD with MetLife about a month ago. I have DDD, and severe spinal stenosis in both my lower and neck. I knew about the lower back and had surgery some time ago but it’s not totally resolved and the DDD is not at all resolved. I just found out about the cervical stenosis as I’m having a lot of symptoms.
I filed everything with MetLife, had an interview and gave them all the info they asked for. I just got a letter that my file went to a nurse and they need about 30-45 days to make a decision.
Is this normal? Do I do anything like call them and ask for a status or if I can give them additional information? Do I leave it alone?
I’m in pain every day and cannot imagine that this will be declined but have heard nightmare stories.
Hoping for advice.
Thanks.
