Minor Disabling Conditions
Often times when we are interviewing clients with regard to their Workers’ Compensation, Social Security Disability or Long-Term Disability case we ask the client for a list of their disabilities. Usually the client only gives us the most important disabilities. Many times the client will leave out minor disabilities. You should not do this. You should not leave it up to the insurance company, SSA, or long-term disability carrier to inquire what your disabling conditions might be. It may be beneficial to make a list of the severe and non-severe conditions that you experience. It is important to remember they will consider non-severe conditions in combination with severe conditions when deciding whether you are entitled to benefits.
Other conditions many individuals may not consider can include but are not limited to:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
- Depression
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Diabetes
- Hepatitis
- Arthritis
- Learning Disorders
- Visual Impairments
- Hearing Loss
