Important Steps In Claim Preparation

Claim preparation is often the most important phase of the disability claim process. We help with these important factors:

  • Review: Every disability plan defines disability in a particular way. It is important to obtain a copy of your disability plan, review it and prepare a claim that integrates the definition of disability with your symptoms.
  • Proof: If you believe that the definition of disability encompasses your illness or medical condition, you must provide proof of your medical condition and support your claim with evidence demonstrating how the condition prohibits you from performing the material duties of your job.
  • Support: You must collect data that show the extent of your symptoms and how they impact your ability to work. Starting a journal of your medical visits, symptoms and other information can help. In addition to collecting data, your doctor may also need to write a letter describing your condition and explaining how it impacts your ability to work.

Just when I thought there was no hope to recover my LTD benefits, I found attorney Constantin Roboostoff. With his expertise, I was able to recover all of my back long term disability benefits. Other attorneys wouldn’t take my case because it wasn’t cut and dry. Mr. Roboostoff took the challenge and did an incredible job. Not only did he get my current disability benefits going, he also recovered all my back benefits. He was a true blessing and I would recommend him whole heartedly. CW

It was my pleasure to make contact with Scott Kalkin three years ago after other lawyers had turned me away and told me I would not succeed in my lawsuit. Thanks to Scott's thoroughness, dedication, and diligence, my lawsuit WAS successful and he saw me through to the end, which included putting legal pressure on the insurance company which had invested so much time, personnel, and money, in not paying me what was due.

As soon as I met with Scott, I could tell he was knowledgeable, resourceful, experienced, highly professional, and would be dedicated to getting me fair treatment. Scott has handled all interactions with my insurance company ever since. Being able to rely on him to represent me has been a huge relief for a chronically ill person. SO
