At Disability Insurance Law Group, our Florida and nationwide attorneys know that not all medical conditions are as easily diagnosed as others. Some can be identified using X-rays. Others with blood tests. Ataxia is diagnosed using a combination of strategies that may include medical history, family history, and a complete neurological evaluation.
Ataxia, according to the National Ataxia Foundation, is a degenerative disease of the nervous system that can affect people of all ages. Symptom-onset can vary widely, from childhood to late adulthood. Many who suffer from Ataxia may experience problems using their fingers and hands, arms, legs, walking, speaking, or moving their eyes.
Complications from the disease are serious and oftentimes debilitating, with some types leading to early death. Because of the severity of the condition, Ataxia can prevent sufferers from performing the duties that come with full-time employment. For that reason, they may qualify for disability benefits.
Our Ataxia disability insurance attorneys assist policyholders throughout the U.S. in strategically submitting their claims by outlining the severity of their conditions and compiling the necessary medical records to support their disabilities.
