Disability insurance attorneys Greg Dell and Steven Jessup answer common questions about MetLife disability appeals, explaining that appeals can be won but require strong medical support, detailed documentation and careful preparation.
Since claimants get only one appeal opportunity, rushing to file without fully building evidence is risky. Appeals often take 6–9 months, and MetLife commonly relies on paper reviews by hired doctors rather than in-person exams. Claimants may face surveillance or social-media checks.
