LTD Claim Denial Subject to Stricter Standard of Review Due to Untimely Decision
The Wagner Law Group Link to more items from this source
Oct. 31, 2019

"The Seventh Circuit explained that the statutory deadline imposes a 'hard stop,' and that 'in no event' may the deadline be extended beyond a specified number of days. Although the Seventh Circuit noted that the substantial compliance doctrine may apply to other aspects of claims processing, it does not apply to missed deadlines because 'substantial compliance with a deadline requiring strict compliance is a contradiction in terms.' " [Fessenden v. Reliance Standard Life Ins. Co., No. 18-1346 (7th Cir. Jun. 25, 2019)]
