In this video, Riemer Hess answers common questions about how a vocational assessment can support a long term disability claim.

A vocational assessment can help explain what your occupation actually requires, not just what appears in a generic job title or employer job description. This can be especially important for professionals and executives whose roles involve high-level decision-making, leadership, communication, travel, long hours, deadlines, or other demands that may not be obvious from the job title alone.

The vocational expert can evaluate your job duties, the skills needed to perform your occupation, and how your medical restrictions and limitations affect your ability to work. The assessment may also address whether you can perform your own occupation or, depending on the policy language, whether other occupations are realistically available to you.

This type of evidence can help connect the medical evidence to the real-world demands of your work.
