Ninth Circuit: Why Denial Letters Must Include All Rationale to be Asserted in Litigation
Lane Powell PC Link to more items from this source
Dec. 14, 2022

"[T]his new Ninth Circuit decision indicates for the first time that it is 'clear error' for a district court to adopt 'newly presented rationale when applying de novo review.' Even rationale focused on a claimant's credibility must be affirmatively stated in the claim denial, if considered, or it will be deemed a 'newly presented rationale' and must be excluded from consideration by the district court if asserted in the litigation." [Collier v. Lincoln Life Assurance Company of Boston, No. 21-55465 (9th Cir. Nov. 21, 2022)]
