(This is a reprint of one of my client newsletters published in May 2011. There seems to be an outbreak of the above in the general population and therefore I thought blog readers might benefit from the article as well.) One of the more remarkable aspects of having a claim in the “safety zone” (EDU) is accepting the [...]

Unum -What Goes Around Comes Around
Posted in Interesting Buzz on February 8, 2012 | 4 Comments »
Recently, a former private investigator forwarded to me a “yearbook” of pictures of Unum claims handlers and personnel she was able to download from Facebook. Although nearly all of the Unum employees did not portray themselves well on their Facebook pages, DCS, Inc. has made a decision not to publish these photos on the Blog. [...]
Yup! I Finally Have Unum Exactly Where They Want Me…..
Posted in Interesting Buzz, Unfair Practices on December 7, 2011 | 14 Comments »
Unum whistleblowers seem to be increasing in numbers and contacting DCS, Inc. with inside information concerning Unum’s claims practices. I actually heard from several ex-Unum employees in the past two weeks who report identical unfair claims practices encouraged by Directors, Assistant VPs, and Quality Complaince. The overall goal - to deny more and more claims. Allow me to [...]

Diary of a Unum Whistle Blower – There is a Price To Be Paid
Posted in Interesting Buzz, Unfair Practices on August 24, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Suddenly it appears Unum’s house is falling down – again. Given the recent contacts Lindanee’s Blog has with former Unum claims handlers and Medical Directors it is important for readers to be given a sense of the price ex-Unum employees pay for providing information about Unum, and doing the right thing. And, there is a price to [...]
Dearborn National – Comedy of File Review Stupidity
Posted in Interesting Buzz on March 8, 2011 | 4 Comments »
DCS received a call today from a claimant who told me Dearborn National denied his claim for failure to provide a “2009 W-2.” The denial letter was dated in September 2009, and the claimant is self-employed. Now……………let’s all think about this. A self-employed person filing a 1040 would not be issued a W-2. Even if he were, [...]
A Year End Editorial – “Greed is Good – And Now It Appears It’s Legal”
Posted in Interesting Buzz on December 31, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Today we live in a world where special interests surpass ethics and the goodness of people who make it possible for free enterprise to flourish. As Americans, we buy and sell our goods and services and generally accept the status quo as “too big” or “impossible to change.” Although for most, life is still hard and [...]
Corporate America is Pitching Us Off the Cliff – Hey,Tell Me About It! by Linda Nee
Posted in Interesting Buzz on November 19, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Today Michael Moore published and interesting piece on his blog titled ”Corporate America is Pitching Us Off the Cliff”. My first reaction was, “Hey Michael…..tell me about it!” Unum’s been planning my personal demise since 2002 when I first began whistle blowing to management about unfair and often illegal claims practices. Prior to the NBC Dateline and 60 [...]
Unum Reads This Blog – That’s a Good Thing! Editorial by Linda Nee
Posted in Interesting Buzz on September 18, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Although in the past DCS suspected Unum and other insurers read Lindanee’s Blog, I feel fairly certain the companies “check in” on a regular basis. Actually, I view the attention of one of the largest disability insurers in America as a very flattering interesting phenomena. We welcome all readers to Lindanee’s Blog, including the insurance [...]
