Disability Council
The Disability Council is a group of physicians, nurses and vocational rehabilitation professionals who work together to certify your disability. The council also offers a wide range of services during your disability. They may assist you in the following ways:

Help you receive efficient, quality medical treatment
Arrange medical services, such as therapy or home health care
Provide personal support
Suggest restricted duty work activities to your physician, as appropriate
Determine work modifications to help you return to your regular job, and
Assess if you need vocational rehabilitation services.

The Disability Council may also arrange for you to undergo an independent medical exam.
