hey, Dan, I worked at s s a as a service rep for about 10 years, and, in that 
time, 2 attempts were made in my office to place blind people in to claims rep 
positions.  The first placement didn't work out too well, because the guy was 
a very low partial, and, he just couldn't keep up with the paper work.  The 
second guy was a high partial, and he faired much better, but, after 2 or 3 
years, he came back to us, again, because of the pressure.  I'm not sure if it 
was because of the lack of sight, or whether it was because of some other 
reason.  For a total, though, unless he/she was a teleclaims rep, (just taking 
claims over the phone) I don't think it could be done easily.  Too much 
verifying of documents to have to do.
