In this video Marc Whitehead, Board Certified Disability Attorney, Explains how you qualify for disability benefits.
The number of people with valid disability claims repetitively denied is staggering. Today, disabled people across the nation are finding out that they need skilled legal representation throughout the claims process to prove 1- that they are disabled & 2- That their disability keeps them from working.
According to the council for disability awareness Muscular Skeletal or connective tissues 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 and is the 4th leading cause of existing claims. Cardiovascular and Circulatory problems such as heart, stroke and circulatory problems are the second leading cause of existing claims. Yet, these claims have declined as a cause of new claims.
When applying for disability benefits the odds can be stacked against you. the flawed system behind the SSD and the Veterans disability claims systems seem to operate under the bases that the disabled person is guilty until proven innocent. Insurance companies resort to unfair tactics to avoid paying the money due to unwary policy holders.
Proving that a health problem is disabling depends on the condition, when qualifying for disability compensation some impairments are more difficult to prove then others, such as:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Such obstacles are enormously frustrating and devastating to individuals faced with these conditions.
Don’t 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.
Almost all private disability policies require that you apply for Social Security Disability insurance benefits as a condition to receiving benefits under their policy. SSD Insurance benefits are then deducted by the amount the private insurance company must pay. If you are applying for private disability benefits we highly recommend that you immediately contact us to help in this complex process.
