Causes of Disability

What Are Some of the Medical Conditions for Which I Can Collect Disability Insurance Benefits?

Following is a list of some of the causes of disability. It should be noted that many insurance carriers deny benefits for some of these conditions on the grounds that the insured’s subjective symptoms do not provide objective, verifiable evidence of disability. In many cases, however, there is no provision or contractual requirement mandating that the insured provide objective evidence of his or her disability.
