Vestibular dysfunction can be extremely distressing and disabling. A vestibular evaluation is one of the best ways to prove the severity of a long term disability due to vestibular dysfunction. This is because the evaluation will provide an objective proof of your vestibular symptoms (including dizziness, vertigo and balance issues) in a way that medical records alone cannot.
Learn whether a vestibular evaluation may help prove your long term disability claim.

A vocational assessment can provide a detailed, expert opinion that explains why your disability prevents you from working.
A vocational expert can achieve this by: (1) providing an accurate and comprehensive description of your job responsibilities; (2) highlighting the skills and abilities necessary to perform your job successfully; (3) clearly explaining your inability to meet particular work demands; and (4) providing an expert conclusion as to whether you can perform your own occupation or any other occupation.

Here is why medical evidence is crucial when it comes to winning our Disability Claim. In theory, the insurance company is supposed to consider each and every piece of evidence submitted in connection with your disability claim. In reality, the medical evidence tends to steal the show. Why is that?
If you are filing a long term disability claim, one of the most important issues is proving how your symptoms affect your ability to work. A diagnosis alone is usually not enough. Your insurer will want evidence showing that your condition prevents you from performing the duties of your occupation on a consistent basis.
One of the most effective ways to document your limitations is by keeping a detailed symptom diary. A well-maintained symptom journal can help support your credibility, strengthen your medical records, and provide important evidence for your long term disability claim.
