What Use is a Transferable Skills Analysis?
The
Insurance Industry's "weapon" in disability claims? Are there
any studies supporting the effectiveness of TSA's with input solely from an
Insurance Company? No. In fact a transferable skills analysis prepared
with biased input is unethical.
The methodologies for performing
TSA's have not been independently tested and TSA's are not considered
scientifically reliable. Transferable Skills Analysis is a useless tool
if it is not accompanied by ethical standards for input and a labor market
survey. The fact that Insurance Companies and Certified Rehabilitation
Counselors use these scientifically unreliable TSA's to render claims decisions
is risky, and unethical.
There are numerous methodologies used to perform a TSA
however none of them can correct for poor data collection, poor data input,
unethical behavior, financial incentives to produce a result for the insurer,
selective review and bias. There isn't a single academic in the rehabilitation
counseling field that would make the claim that a transferable skills analysis,
with input solely from an insurance company, is an empirically supported
"reliable" methodology.
However, if you, as an individual, would like to take advantage of it for your own purposes, it can be a valuable tool as part of our C.A.I. Ask about it.
