Multiple System Atrophy Afflicts Corporate VP

“Mary,” a 57 year old vice president of computer applications at a major company, was stricken with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) at the height of her career. MSA is a devastating neurodegenerative disease marked by a combination of symptoms affecting movement, blood pressure and other bodily functions.

Troubled by rapidly deteriorating eye sight and cognitive problems, she came to Riemer Hess for help with completing the complicated forms required by her insurer. We worked with Mary and her doctor to draft detailed statements describing the nature and extent of her disability. These statements helped prove to the insurance company that “Mary” was no longer able to perform her job duties.

Mary was granted benefits. Riemer Hess continues to work with Mary to ensure that her benefits are not interrupted.
