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.
Multiple Sclerosis (“MS”) is a chronic, progressive autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system and can cause a wide range of physical and cognitive symptoms. If you are living with MS, these symptoms can make it difficult or impossible to work, and may lead to long term disability. However, despite the very serious nature of MS, obtaining long term disability benefits can be an uphill battle.
Below we will discuss how to present the strongest long term disability claim possible for multiple sclerosis.
Those with fibromyalgia know how difficult daily living can be: coping with debilitating chronic pain, ending up exhausted for days from light activities, struggling to concentrate enough to complete even simple tasks. Many people suffering from fibromyalgia find themselves unable to continue working.
Fibromyalgia is difficult to prove as a disability since it is a condition with largely subjective symptoms. Because of this, obtaining long term disability insurance benefits can be challenging. Insurance companies are skeptical of claims based on self-reported subjective symptoms. They often insist that a claimant supply objective evidence in support of disability.
If you are disabled because of fibromyalgia, our disability insurance lawyers can help you assemble the evidence that insurers demand to approve a claim.
