Average Rating: 
Rating: - If your disabled you must have this book
A disabled person suffers from an information asymmetry when dealing with the insurance company the doctor and Social Security when on claim. The people they deal with know all about disability and they know nothing. This book teaches much of what you need to know. Tells you what files to keep, what clauses mean and how to minimize problems when dealing with your disability.
Rating: - A Must-Have Book for All Disabled Persons and their Loved Ones!
I reluctantly purchased this book at the suggestion of a disability claims examiner on a web forum. The last thing in the world I wanted to do after becoming disabled was to read a book about it. However I am very glad that I did just that. The book is written by a woman who herself became disabled and discovered the hard way - as most do - just how much of your privacy and rights you give up when you are disabled and submit a related insurance claim. No one is there to stand up for you when you ... Read More
Rating: - LEARN THE HOW TO'S FROM THE PROS; EVEN LAWYERS WILL LEARN
"This is much more than a how-to or do-it-yourself book. It is a plain English road map through the thicket of the entire disability process. It is so well written, accurate, and thorough, attorneys and judges will use it as an important desk reference. All organizations, agencies, and individuals involved in the disability benefits decision process, take note: This book now levels the playing field for the newly disabled." - Thomas P. Dovidio, Esquire
Rating: - Excellent Patient Resource
This is an excellent resource for my patients that have become disabled from a medical condition. It is a useful tool as 'Persistence is Power' prepares patients to organize medical visits, workplace modifcations, restrictions, and daily life with actual worksheets and guideposts (websites and other resources), so that they can learn how to manage their new role in life.
I find that most patients who have not had a previous work-related injury do not know what to expect or know who to contact ... Read More
Rating: - POWERFUL GUIDELINES
Having been employed for 30 years by the same aerospace firm, I have personally found that employee benefits has been out-sourced which leaves very little information & assistance to those in need. Sometimes the idea of filing a lawsuit doesn't help TODAY's needs. I have read Jeanne's book and wish I had known many of those resources and how to go about getting results. I surely would not have had to go down so many dead-end streets. I highly recommend this informative book to anyone who needs to ... Read More
