Musculoskeletal Disorders Disability Benefit Claim Lawyer Tips to Get Approved

Attorneys Gregory Dell and Stephen Jessup discuss disability claims related to musculoskeletal conditions. Nearly half of the insurance disability claims filed are due to musculoskeletal conditions which includes all joints of the body. Any x-rays, MRIs, CT scans, or other testing will be incredibly helpful in getting disability benefits approved. Insurance companies will often disregard any pain complaints without objective testing. You may have had chronic musculoskeletal pain for some time and continued to work. Insurance companies will question what changed to justify disability. Talk to your doctor about all of your conditions. You may have difficulties beyond your physical pain such as anxiety, depression, or difficulty focusing and concentrating. All conditions should be discussed and how your ability to work is difficult or impossible.
