Description
WOOD, Circuit Judge. The plaintiff, George Wolfe, a former employee of the defendant J.C. Penney Company ("Penney"), applied for benefits under Penneys Long-Term Disability Benefit ("LTD") Plan. The administrator of the LTD Plan, Prudential Insurance Company ("Prudential"), denied Wolfes application because it found that Wolfe was not disabled within the meaning of the Plan. Wolfe contested this denial by bringing this action under section 502 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. § 1132. The district court overturned the decision denying benefits and instated Wolfe into the LTD Plan. The issues raised by this appeal are: (1) whether the letter notifying Wolfe of Prudentials decision satisfied 29 U.S.C. § 1133, and (2) whether the district court properly instated Wolfe under Penneys LTD Plan.
