The Info Library is a resource for people who have questions about disability insurance benefits, insurance companies, medical conditions, occupational demands, claims, appeals, and litigation.
Think of it as a practical guide to disability claims. Our goal is to explain common issues in clear, useful terms so you can better understand the process, the risks, and the decisions that may affect your benefits.
New articles are added regularly.

Neck and back injuries can significantly diminish mobility and cause excruciating pain. A back or neck injury can be the result of work or recreational activities, disease, a fall or other accident, or a degenerative disorder. Back and neck pain is one of the most common reasons why claimants file for long term disability insurance benefits. Insurers routinely deny back and neck pain claims for lack of objective evidence.
