I have a question relating to fmla disability. my wife was pregnant last year and was put on disability one month prior to her delivery for stress that was affecting the pregnancy. she then took her fmla leave and near the end of that her doctor was concerned about her recovery from the C-section and post partum issues and he recommended another month. she filed the required paperwork and after 3 weeks of back and forth with the disability people they denied the claim and are now asking for the money back. In addition when she came back to work she had been moved not only off her team but to another region, losing all her established relationships with brokers and clients. while she was gone raises and bonuses were handed out. in the previous 2 years she received a 3+% raise and $2,500.00 bonuses, this year 2% and no bonus and was told "Well, I can't give everyone a bonus". during the year prior to her leave the assistant manager left, (took a promotion inside the company) and my wife was given her book of business and also mentored 3 new hires. she applied for the vacancy on her team prior to the leave and the position was given to another person on her team who had been there longer. when she came back from the leave she applied for several new openings that had been created and was unable to even get an interview to be considered. the person that got the job on her old team is now constantly coming to my wife with questions about how to do his job, (he moved with her to the new team), and others who were promoted to these new positions are not qualified per the companies written job description, while my wife is. I know this has been a long post but if it was just any one of these things it would not be a big deal but given the fact that my wife took the leave during the busiest time of the year it really seems like this is punishment. Our question obviously is do we need to pursue this???
