Description

This case involves whether an insurance company may offset benefits payable under the Veterans Benefits Act from long term disability insurance payments. In response to issues submitted, the jury found that Barnetts date of disability under the VA did not begin until after the effective date of the Aetna policy, despite the fact that the actual injury occurred long before; that Aetna acted in good faith in taking the deductions; and, that Aetnas actions were not unconscionable. On the basis of these answers, the trial court entered judgment that Barnett take nothing. The court of appeals, 708 S.W.2d 911, affirmed, holding that the VA benefits were deductible under the policy.
