In 1999 MetLife discontinued my disability benefits after I had received a confirmation of total disability from Social Security at the age of 59. I could not afford my mortgage, so was forced to sell my home near all my children while I pursued legal action against MetLife. I was awarded an out of court settlement of 199K, but more than half was paid to attorneys representing me. Also, in order to receive my award, I had to sign a waiver against any other pursuit against MetLife in this regard. I am no longer able to afford to live in the area near my children, but have moved to an area where I can afford to live. I am still devastated that I lost so much of my life during this process.
