Court Ruling Requires Insurance Companies to Pay Benefits to People with Preexisting Conditions

In a key court ruling, New York's highest court ruled that disability insurers must pay claimants under group policies who have preexisting conditions.  The insurance company may only exclude the first 12 months of payments, but must make full payment after that, starting  the 13th month of a long-term disability.  The case was against Metlife, filed by Mitchell Benesowtz, a former employee of Honeywell Corp.
