We understand how peripheral neuropathy affects your work. We helped a client maintain disability benefits due to peripheral neuropathy after undergoing aggressive cancer treatment. Though our client was no longer disabled due to cancer, the treatment was so aggressive that it resulted in severe peripheral neuropathy, making the client unable to work as an executive.
The insurer had a difficult time understanding that although the claim began due to cancer, it was the damage to nerves done by the treatment that left the client permanently disabled, despite successfully beating cancer.
One of the challenges associated with peripheral neuropathy concerns the ability to document it properly because patients are often impacted differently depending on which nerves are damaged. Peripheral neuropathy disability claims are frequently denied by insurers for failure to provide supporting evidence of the severity of the condition.
Documentation required by insurers often includes medical records detailing your symptoms and how they have progressed. They may also require a firm diagnosis from your doctor and results from diagnostic testing, records regarding treatments and follow-up care, and statements from yourself, your co-workers, and your family regarding the impacts peripheral neuropathy has on your life.
In peripheral neuropathy disability claims, showing strong evidence that your symptoms are intense enough to prevent you from working can be critical to getting your claim approved.
