The days when qualifying for disability was straightforward are over. An excessive number of people with valid disabilities are repeatedly denied before getting their disability claim approved.
Today, disabled people across the nation are finding out that they need skilled legal representation throughout the claims process to (1) prove they are disabled and (2) prove that the disability keeps them from working.
Qualifying for Disability Benefits – Disabling Conditions
According to the Council for Disability Awareness (CDA),
- Musculoskeletal/connective tissue disorders continue to rank as the leading cause of disability. Claims under this category are the result of neck and back pain; as well as joint, muscle and tendon disorders.
- Cancer remains the second leading cause of new claims. It is the fourth leading cause of existing claims.
- Cardiovascular/circulatory problems such as heart, strokes and circulatory disorders are still the second leading cause of existing claims, yet have declined as a cause of new claims.

The disability insurance attorneys of Marc Whitehead & Associates have successfully helped hundreds of individuals with long-term disabilities who have had their claim for disability compensation denied.

Proving that a health problem is “disabling” depends on the condition. When qualifying for disability compensation, some impairments are more difficult to “prove” than others, such as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Such obstacles are enormously frustrating and devastating to individuals faced with these conditions.
We are acutely aware of these issues; therefore, thorough evidence and medical records must be prepared and skillfully presented as a key part of a claimant’s case.

Get help qualifying for disability benefits. Don’t give up – Stand up to those who denied your claim.
Do not delay. Several essential actions must occur to ensure that your rights to disability benefits will be properly grounded with proof of your disability, and that you are no longer able to work. We will help you throughout the appeals process, leaving nothing to chance.
Almost all private disability policies require you to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) as a condition of receiving benefits under their policy. SSDI benefits are then deducted from the amount the private insurance company must pay. If you are applying for private disability benefits, we highly recommend that you immediately contact us during this complicated process.
