Cancer Long Term Disability Claim Video

Описание: Disability insurance attorneys Gregory Dell and Stephen Jessup discuss long term disability claims due to cancer.

Disability insurance companies will not dispute a diagnosis of cancer. The problems occur once a person is cured of the cancer, or it has gone into remission, but the person still suffers from symptoms.

Often, the treatment that cured the cancer will cause after-effects such as cognitive issues or severe fatigue. Because the disability is caused by these residual symptoms and not by the actual cancer disease itself, the claimant may struggle to prove to the disability insurance company that they are in fact disabled as a result of the cancer.

Often, the disability insurance company will attempt to attribute the claimant's symptoms to a mental/nervous condition, such as depression or anxiety, which limits the claimant to only receiving 24 months of benefits.

Once the cancer is no longer an active health threat, a claimant often will stop treating with their oncologist or specialist, and instead follow with their primary care physician.

It is essential for the treating physician to properly document your symptoms, how the symptoms affect your functional capacity to perform your job, and then relate the symptoms to the cancer treatment or whatever the underlying cause may be.
