Suffering from Pain? Fatigue? Weakness? Migraines?
Can your insurance company require objective medical evidence for these conditions? Generally, the answer is no. This is especially true if there is no explicit requirement for objective medical evidence in the disability policy.
Our law firm focuses on disability insurance claims. Our disability lawyers have represented numerous people across the nation pursuing long-term disability benefits. We have assisted many individuals suffering from the following medical conditions:
- Chronic Pain Syndrome
- Chronic Migraines
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
These are common medical conditions. Unfortunately, there may not be a lot of objective evidence to submit to an insurance company. Yet, courts have recognized that insurance companies cannot base a denial of benefits on a lack of objective evidence, unless the disability policy explicitly requires such evidence. If there is no such requirement, insurance companies must evaluate the validity of a person’s complaints and include any subjective evidence in such analysis.
While objective evidence may not be required, there are things you must do to get your disability insurance benefits:
- You must be under the regular care of a doctor;
- You must document your conditions and submit as much subjective evidence of disability as possible;
- Your doctor must identify specific restrictions and limitations that cause you to be unable to work.
