At Disability Insurance Law Group, our nationwide claims attorneys know Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects 10-15% of the U.S. population, or 25-45 million people, according to Johns Hopkins University.
IBS is a group of symptoms that affect the digestive system. It is a common but uncomfortable gastrointestinal disorder. People with IBS get excessive gas, abdominal pain, and cramps.
There are four different types of IBS, with symptoms ranging from constipation to bowel movement urgency. Unfortunately, physicians say those suffering from IBS often move between the other diagnoses. This all makes it difficult for researchers to find a single drug treatment that will relieve all the symptoms of IBS. In addition, IBS can lead to other health problems that make working and conducting daily activities impossible.
This is where disability insurance can make an essential difference in the lives of those who have been diagnosed with IBS. Because of the nature of the condition, disability insurance companies see its severity differently than those living with the impairment.
This often leads to disability insurance claim denials, which can devastate the policyholder’s well-being and livelihood.
Our national IBS disability insurance attorneys assist policyholders through the U.S. in strategically submitting their claims by outlining the severity of their conditions, compiling the necessary medical records to support their disabilities, and negotiating with their private or employer-provided insurer to achieve the benefits they are entitled to for their impairment.
