Ms. Terrie Williams appealed to federal court after repeated denials of long term disability benefits by her employer and MetLife. The Court, ruling in her favor, held that the decisions by MetLife and the Employer were not the product of a deliberate, principled reasoning process and in arriving at their opinions they had disregarded significant medical evidence.
