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.

To obtain long term disability (LTD) benefits, you must persuade the insurer that you meet the standard of disability in your policy or plan. Typically, you must prove that you cannot perform the material duties of your regular occupation. The insurer will rely heavily on your application and supporting materials to make its decision. A thorough, timely application significantly increases your chances of success.
Strategy - Apply for Benefits Strategy - Evidence Strategy - Symptom Log
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.
