Conditions we handle

What evidence usually matters

A general guide by kind of condition. Your own claim depends on your records, and we look at all of your conditions together.

• Back, joints and muscles

  Imaging like MRIs and X-rays, exam findings, how long you can sit, stand and walk, and whether a doctor says you need a cane or walker.

• Heart and circulation

  Test results such as echocardiograms and stress tests, hospital stays, and how activity affects your symptoms.

• Breathing and lungs

  Breathing test results, oxygen use, flare-ups that needed urgent care, and how often they happen.

• Brain and nerves

  Neurologist records, seizure or headache logs, and how symptoms affect balance, hand use, memory and focus.

• Mental health

  Steady treatment, therapy notes, and how symptoms affect focus, pace, getting along with others and handling stress.

• Cancer

  Pathology and imaging reports, the stage and spread, treatment side effects, and whether the cancer has come back.

• Immune system and blood

  Lab results, flare-up records, and how fatigue, pain and infections affect a normal work week.

• Kidneys, liver and digestion

  Lab trends, hospital stays, procedures such as dialysis, and weight loss over time.

• Diabetes, senses and other conditions

  How the condition and its complications limit work, often in combination with other conditions.
