No specific laws identified for this ruling.
The court reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment for MetLife and remanded the case, finding that MetLife's failure to obtain and consider Social Security medical records—which it had led the claimant to believe it would review—constituted a serious procedural irregularity requiring reconsideration of the long-term disability benefits denial under ERISA.
