Does Osteoporosis Qualify for Long Term Disability Benefits?

When someone develops a medical condition that prevents them from returning to work, they will generally seek long term disability benefits to help them and their families attain the peace of mind they need to move on with their lives without the security of a regular paycheck from their employer. Those with osteoporosis oftentimes will seek long term disability benefits, as some of the many debilitating aspects of having the condition can easily prevent a person from returning to work. Those who suffer from osteoporosis often have to deal with brittle and week bones, which drastically increases the chances of breaking wrists, hips, or the spine. Unfortunately, osteoporosis is more than an increased risk for broken bones; it also means that those who have the condition will have to deal with severe back pain, a loss of height and stooped posture, and more. In some cases, osteoporosis can even cause a broken bone by a simple act such as coughing. Rather obviously, those with osteoporisis have a lot on their plate, which is why they will often seek long term disability benefits. Our firm is here to help all those with osteoporisis obtain the long term disability benefits they need.
