It is essential to note that disability fraud is a serious offense, and investigators must adhere to ethical and legal standards when conducting their inquiries. False accusations or invasive actions without proper evidence can have legal consequences.

If you suspect disability fraud, it is advisable to report your concerns to the relevant authorities or the insurance company overseeing the claim. These entities typically have established procedures for investigating such claims and will involve law enforcement if necessary. Keep in mind that privacy laws vary, and investigators must operate within the bounds of these laws while carrying out their activities.

MPI investigators may become involved in disability claims investigations when there are suspicions of fraud or misrepresentation. Insurance companies, government agencies, or employers may hire MP Investigations to verify the legitimacy of disability claims to ensure that benefits are rightfully awarded to those who genuinely qualify.

Here are some common reasons private investigators may be involved in disability claims:

  1. Surveillance: MPI investigators may conduct surveillance to observe claimants’ daily activities. This can include monitoring their physical abilities, documenting activities inconsistent with claimed disabilities, or capturing evidence of work or other physical activities that are contrary to the claimed disability.
  2. Background Checks: MPIInvestigators may conduct thorough background checks on claimants to uncover any inconsistencies in their medical history or prior disability claims. This may involve verifying medical records, employment history, and other relevant information.
  3. Interviews and Statements: MPI investigators may interview neighbors, colleagues, or other individuals who can provide information about the claimant’s daily life and activities. Discrepancies between the claimant’s statements and the information gathered from interviews may raise red flags.
  4. Social Media Monitoring: MPI investigators may monitor social media platforms to gather information about a claimant’s activities, interests, and lifestyle. Information posted online may contradict the severity of the claimed disability.
  5. Medical Record Review: MPI investigators may work with medical experts to review and analyze the claimant’s medical records. Discrepancies or inconsistencies in the medical documentation may be indicative of fraudulent claims.
