If you are filing a long term disability claim, one of the most important issues is proving how your symptoms affect your ability to work. A diagnosis alone is usually not enough. Your insurer will want evidence showing that your condition prevents you from performing the duties of your occupation on a consistent basis.
One of the most effective ways to document your limitations is by keeping a detailed symptom diary. A well-maintained symptom journal can help support your credibility, strengthen your medical records, and provide important evidence for your long term disability claim.
