The development of medical conditions has caused you to be unable to perform in your job. You loved your job and worked hard to achieve the level of success you enjoyed before your disability. You want nothing more than to get better and return to your career. But, you are forced to file a claim for disability benefits, which is denied by the insurance company. You are likely asking yourself:
How can the insurance company deny my claim for disability benefits when I clearly cannot work?
This is especially frustrating given that you paid premiums for disability coverage for years in order to have financial protection should you no longer be able to earn your income. Sadly, this is an all too common story for our clients.
Your Burden to Prove Disability
You have the burden to prove your disability.You know your condition and its impact the best. But, your subjective complaints are likely not enough to get benefits approved. Instead, the medical evidence must substantiate your subjective complaints. In other words, the medical records must include proof that you are restricted from working.
Doctor’s Support
Critically important for your claim is the support of your treating doctors. To have a chance at receiving disability benefits, your doctor’s must conclude that you are incapable of returning to work.
Additional Support
To further support your claim, you may consider alternative forms of evidence proving disability, including:
- Medical Evaluations
- Independent Medical Examinations
- Functional Capacity Evaluations
- Neuropsychological Testing
- Letters From Those Most Familiar With Your Deterioration
- Vocational Reviews
- Independent Medical Record Reviews
