Where medical evidence conflicted as to whether a claimant of long-term disability benefits was disabled, the claimant’s plan administrator properly discounted medical evidence that was not supported by objective evidence of testing, and the denial of the claim was not an abuse of discretion. Judgment is affirmed.
