How Do I Ask My Doctor for Disability?
The question, How do I ask my doctor for assistance with my disability benefit claim? is top of mind for all claimants applying for disability insurance benefits.
Every disability insurance claim has to have supporting medical documentation of the claimants disability in order to receive approval from the disability insurance carrier.
Without proper documentation from treating physicians the disability insurance company will deny a claim for disability income benefits.
Every Disability Insurance Claimant Needs To Let Their Doctor Know About Their Daily Struggles, Symptoms, Limitations & the Requirements of Their Occupation
All treating physicians need to know and understand what is expected of you every day to perform your job and how your medical issues prevent you from performing those tasks. Explain how these limitations impact the degree of physical, mental, or intellectual functionality has on your ability to perform the required tasks of your occupation. All of your treating doctors need to know the struggles you face daily. Make sure your doctors understand how the symptoms you are experiencing limit or prevent you from doing your job.
How To Have Doctors Complete Disability Insurance Documentation
Let your doctors know how important it is for them to take the time to complete the medical documentation and how much you need their help. Don’t just leave the forms with your doctors. Make clear to them on your medical visit as to the purpose of the forms and what is being asked for and why. Doctors are more likely to complete the forms and cooperate if they understand the purpose of the forms and understand why your condition prevents you from performing your job.

Most doctors are unfamiliar with what the disability insurance company wants and needs to be included in the forms. Often, physicians appreciate that you have hired an attorney that understands the disability medical documentation claim forms. We provide guidance so they understand what the form is for, why they are completing it, and what information needs to be expressed.
