BOUDIN, Circuit Judge.
Starting in July 1989, Cheryl Wallace worked for nearly fourteen years for Or-tho Biotech, Inc. (“Ortho Biotech”), an op erating company in the Johnson & Johnson family of companies. She was covered by Johnson & Johnson’s Long Term Disability Income Plan for Choices Eligible Employees of Johnson & Johnson and Affiliated Companies (“the Plan”). On this appeal, Wallace — now on disability leave and relying upon the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) — contests a determination of the amount of benefits due to her under the Plan.
