Long Term Disability Benefits for Stroke

Stroke is one of the most conditions causing long-term disability. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted, preventing the brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. A stroke can cause temporary or permanent disabilities such as:

• Paralysis or loss of muscle movement
• Difficulty talking or swallowing
• Memory loss or thinking difficulties
• Emotional problems
• Chronic pain
• Changes in behavior and self-care ability

Long-Term Disability Claims For Stroke Are Often Initially Denied

Long-term disability companies will deny claims for strokes because they claim the after-effects and symptoms do not cause lasting functional impairment.

There are ways to prove that a stroke and its resulting impairments cause long term disability and limits a person’s ability to work. This includes:

• Consistent notes from doctors detailing the aftereffects of a stroke.
• Undergoing a “Functional Capacity Evaluation” to prove physical functional restrictions and limitations.
• Neuropsychological evaluations to establish cognitive impairments
• Personal statements provided by you or a trust third-party that details your functional impairments before and after the stroke.
