Teresa,
Yes, I have seen this site with all this valuable information which Laurie will utilize to our advantage in her fight for me. The only point I would disagree on with you, is that the TPA really only follows the direction from the employer. Not the other way around. The TPA only acts in an administrative capacity. So, know who your enemies are. In my case, it is my husband's employer, hands down. They have not even provided any of us with a Summary Plan Description. They have 30 days to provide that, per my conversation with "the man" at the Dept. of Labor in D.C., who I talked to on Tuesday. All in all, valuable info. Now, back to my own fight!
