LYNCH, Circuit Judge.
A disability insurer, Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company ("Hartford"), gave notice to Theresa Fortier that the long-term disability ("LTD") benefits it had provided her under the Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic Company Long Term Disability Plan (the "Plan") would expire because she had not shown she was eligible for a continuation of those benefits. The notice informed her she must file any appeal within 180 days of receipt of the notice. She did not do so, filing her appeal about two months after this deadline.
