I am appealing for denial of my STD claim due to the following reasons. I submitted the claim on 07/22/2016. I was informed that within a couple of days my claim is going to be assigned to the claim manager, and the claim manager will discuss the following steps I need to take.

This can be based on discrepancies in the discussion based off the reason why the appeal was sent back. For this escalation, I
