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.

It’s Important To Pay Attention To Changes
In the last six months or so I’ve been writing one article after another about the changing disability claims process so that insureds know how to handle things. Still, I am receiving phone calls from insureds and claimants sharing their anxiety when things aren’t going as they expected. I’m not really sure what else I can say...
Topics Of Interest – Short – Shorts.

I haven’t written about “fearfulness” in quite some time. Over the last few years, it seemed to me that most insureds were dealing with the anxiety associated with their claims fairly well, and I hadn’t felt the need to mention it. However, over the last several months I’ve been hearing insureds’ fear again...
