At Bartolic Law, we can guide you in filing disability claims for COPD, increasing your chances of getting your claim approved. We’ll help you understand the application process and the types of evidence you’ll need to present to have your claim approved. We have helped clients with COPD obtain disability benefits.
Medical records and doctors’ opinions are necessary to establish your claim, but they leave an opportunity for insurers to come to different opinions about what those records show. We have helped clients actually demonstrate themselves getting short of breath and having trouble breathing when trying to perform even simple tasks, like walking short distances or climbing a few stairs. This can go a long way in getting your disability claim approved.
There are several ways we can help with denied disability claims for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Steps you can take to protect yourself include attending doctor visits regularly, having them document your COPD as a disability, and keeping records regarding all diagnostic testing, treatments, and follow-up care. You should also keep a journal documenting the impacts your chronic condition has on your life and your ability to work while getting statements from family members and co-workers, as well.
If you already have a denied disability claim, you have the right under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to file an appeal. A Chicago disability lawyer can guide you through this process, take several actions on your behalf such as reviewing your filed claim, the supporting documents attached to it, and responses from the insurance company. We can also father additional evidence in support of your claim, make effective arguments at administrative hearings and file a lawsuit against the insurer if your claim continues to be denied or delayed.
At Bartolic Law, we act as a strong legal advocate on the side of people filing disability claims for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
