According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that in 2015, she became disabled and was initially receiving disability benefits until those benefits were terminated.

The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages, all legal fees and interest and any other relief this court deems just. She is represented by P. Randall Noah of Law Offices Of P. Randall Noah in Orinda.
