UNION -- A Monroe County man is suing over claims he was unfairly denied disability benefits.

According to the complaint, Bumgardner was employed by Johnson & Johnson, who offered long-term disability benefits insured and administered by Prudential, when he applied for disability benefits. Bumgardner says Prudential approved his claim, then arbitrarily cut it off and denied his appeal May 9.
