Disability Claimant Failed To Challenge District Court's Ruling, Panel Says

CINCINNATI - The Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeal on Sept. 11 affirmed a district court's ruling in favor of a retirement benefits plan because the appellant, seeking retirement disability benefits, failed to challenge the district court's finding that the retirement plan was properly amended to delete a provision stating that a claimant would be considered totally disabled if the Social Security Administration (SSA) declared the claimant disabled (Patsy Saylor v. Appalachian Regional Hospital, No. 17-6266, 6th Cir., 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 25828).
