How can my physician impact my disability claim in Indiana?

A: It's important that you routinely see your doctor if you are filing a disability claim in Indiana because your physician can positively impact your claim. It would also be beneficial to have an Indiana SSDI lawyer go over your case. An experienced lawyer will gather evidence from your physician and other healthcare providers to build a strong case to help you obtain disability benefits.

Your physician can provide input by explaining exactly how certain conditions or impairments will prevent you from holding a full-time job. If you have a complicated condition that is subject to remissions or constant flare-ups, your physician can provide details of how your life will truly be affected.

Consider Crohn's disease, for example. This chronic digestive disorder, which affects approximately 1 million people in the United States, makes it difficult to digest food. Many sufferers experience abdominal pain, fever, joint pain, chronic diarrhea, frequent hospitalizations, and surgeries.

Since the body is unable to absorb nutrients, weight loss will occur as well as loss of appetite. Treatments, such as cortisone, can be debilitating. Additionally, dietary changes and medications do not always provide relief.

If you suffer from Chron's disease or a similar condition, you may be reluctant to discuss your symptoms; however, it's important that you tell your physician everything. You should also keep a diary of how your condition is progressing, declining, or stabilizing. Be sure to include any days missed from work and the amount of time you are typically forced to spend away from your workstation.

The more information you provide about your daily activities, the better your chances of a successful disability claim in Indiana with the assistance of an Indiana SSDI lawyer.
