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.

Hello? Hello? Is Anyone There? Happy Holiday.
Have you tried to reach your claims handler recently? It’s as though all claims specialists suddenly went DOA, or took a trip to East Gish somewhere. (East Gish is an imaginary place in Maine folklore.) “I’m going to find someone for you…” Oops, call is dropped after listening to a 5 minute menu. “Sorry, her...
DCS Greenhouse Downed By Wind Shear In Maine

After questionning the claims handler, because she was speaking with a very heavy...

In the last decade many highly paid individuals, physicians, dentists and self employed entrepreneurs purchased multiple disability policies in the hopes of having money while disabled.
