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.

Insurer Priorities Aren’t In The Past
Most of the people who are receiving private disability benefits have not thought about what the major intentions and priorities of insurers really are. Some are of the opinion that insurers are “all bad”, others believe the Almighty Net and believe claims are always in jeopardy, and finally some even believe they are entitled...
They’re Watching You!
Insureds are phoning me like crazy reporting strange cars on their streets, familiar faces popping up in the store, spooky, burly men following them, and well, you got it, strange phone calls, and door knocks. Insurance surveillance is a normal thing, expected, and understood to be a part of the “receiving benefits from a third party”...

It’s the old insurance...

I really don’t know how seriously most readers take my articles, but just today I received several email messages describing Unum’s (and other insurers’) inability to provide efficient and accurate claims management. One insured reported receiving letters containing information that doesn’t even relate to him, including...
Lincoln Broken Record
Apparently Lincoln Financial has taken up Unum’s SSDI scams. I received 5 calls today one right another, describing an offer of settlement, declined by claimants with resultant requests for SSDI records to calculate possible overpayment. It’s obvious that Lincoln’s SSDI efforts to allege overpayments and “nickel and...
