Reed Group Overturns Its Decision To Terminate Short Term Disability Benefits To Retired Marine Corp. Officer Suffering From Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Our client was a former officer in the United States Marine Corp with combat service in both Iraq and Afghanistan, who upon retiring from the USMC began working as a medical device sales representative in an operating room setting. For two years he experienced no problems entering operating rooms as part of his occupation. However, in April of 2009, he witnessed a surgical procedure that led him to experience an extreme panic attack, which forced him to leave the operating room. He sought treatment for the panic attack and was ultimately diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
