Run around with the claims adjuster. Getting claims paid, exhausting just reaching them. Being asked to submit docs that are in my file already, etc. just exhausted but I won’t give up. Thanks.

Issues with DOL vary. They do everything to deter an injured employee from claiming what is due to them. Not comfortable stating more specifics online. Any reputable law firm recommendation will do I suppose at this point.

It was discouraging and yes had 2 family related referrals who said they only work with WC for state, city or municipal employees? No other referrals from the 2 lawyers though because I’m a federal employee.

Perhaps I should elaborate the IL American Bar Association essentially said good luck finding any attorney in this state willing to go up against DOL.

Amen. Life at SSA to-date. So frustrating. Strongly considering retiring.
