Seniors across the country are reporting unusually long delays when filing winter insurance claims this year. What used to take a few days or weeks is now stretching into months, leaving retirees frustrated and unsure of when repairs will begin. Winter storms, freezing temperatures, and seasonal damage have all contributed to a surge in claims. At the same time, contractor shortages are slowing down inspections, estimates, and repairs. The combination is creating one of the worst winter backlogs in recent years.
