ROADMAPS TO CLAIM SUCCESS
Leaving work because of a medical disability can have a tremendous physical and emotional impact on anyone. In fact, making the transition from working in a chosen career field to total or partial disability is a major life event that often requires knowledge of disability contracts and investigative claims processes. Disability Claims Solutions, Inc. is here to help.
As a company, Disability Claims Solutions, Inc. provides insureds with resources to make better decisions concerning ERISA Group STD/LTD claims, as well as Individual Disability Income benefits and Long-Term Care. Having the opportunity to work with an expert consultant, such as Linda Nee, provides insureds with valuable procedural options to work through problematic issues in successful ways. Our focus is to resolve problems, not wrestle with conflict.
DCS, Inc. maintains excellent relationships with treating physicians and specialists who support patient disability. Insureds and claimants ultimately benefit from the teamwork of physicians, specialists, and employers, in combination with expert consultation and advice.

Just A Surveillance Reminder – Memorial Day
We are roughly two weeks away from Memorial Day, the holiday of picnics at the lake, home barbecues, and road trips. Please remember that insurance companies will be out, looking for those who exceed their medical restrictions and limitations. This is no joke. Please be mindful of what’s possible, and damned near likely. Remember, thinking...
The State of Fibromyalgia and Lyme disease Claims Today
Several decades ago, physicians were still prescribing morphine drips for insureds diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Other physicians recommended their patients to “just get up on the treadmill and exercise, and you’ll be fine”. The disease abbreviated, FMS, was eventually defined as a “syndrome”, which is a series of...
Manage Assets NOT People – Thought For The Day

As the Dean of Faculty, I was auditing/reviewing one of his courses, and I’m glad I did. The lecture for that day involved explaining the the word MANAGE and that it was a...
As The Saga Continues “What Do I Do Now?”
“After maximum duration” claims continue to call DCS looking for answers as to what to do for income when claims end at 65/67. Actually, a few of the stories are pretty tragic, and my heart goes out to those who will be left with nearly half, or nothing, to live on.

Although I was writing about having a Plan B many years ago, the absolute urgency of doing it now is an even more of a priority than ever before. There are many reasons why...
Unum Claim Alert!
Although I’ve been informing the public about the inefficiency of the insurance industry, Unum remains an excellent example of the “goof ups” that occur. In the last two weeks I’ve received many calls about Unum sending out letters alleging that only the “Physician’s Statement” was received and nothing...
