      <image:caption>This is a quick note from a claimant who has a degenerative condition and has been battling with an insurer for more than two years for a disability payout. I am helping her with the claim as it doesn’t cleanly fit within the policy wordings. She should qualify as she’s permanently disabled but this particular insurance was set up before I met her, and they are proving very difficult to deal with.</image:caption>
