Wilson’s Disease is a rare genetic condition that can severely impact your ability to work and maintain financial stability. By causing copper to build up in the body, the disease damages the liver, brain, and other organs, leading to symptoms like severe fatigue, tremors, and cognitive impairments. These symptoms can make it difficult—or even impossible—to perform essential job tasks.
Securing long term disability benefits for Wilson’s Disease can be challenging. Insurers often question the severity of symptoms or argue that you could still work in another capacity. Below we’ll discuss how to demonstrate to your insurer the full impact of your condition on your ability to work, as doing so is critical to building a strong claim.
