Disability insurance attorneys Gregory Dell and Stephen Jessup discuss cervical neck pain and the challenges faced when making a claim for disability benefits due to this disabling condition.

Cervical spine/neck pain is often treated by disability insurance companies as chronic pain, and not given proper regard for how debilitating this condition can be for claimants. This is especially true for claimant over 50 years of age when degenerative disc disease becomes a factor.

Even with diagnostic proof of an underlying structural condition which is causing the neck pain, it is vital for the claimant to have their treating physicians document how the neck pain is impacting the ability for the claimant to do his or her job.

Often, neck pain radiates to the arms and causing numbness/tingling in the hands and fingers. Or, the doctor may prescribe strong pain medications, which may relieve some of the pain, but which may also cause side effects that impact that ability to perform one's job for 8 hours per day.

If your doctor is not documenting things such as level of pain, inability to perform job functions, or side effects from prescribed medications, then the disability insurance company will never know about them.

It is also important to obtain objective medical evidence and diagnostic tests which document the cervical spine condition which is the source of the pain, such as MRIs, CT scans, X-rays, EMGs and NCVs.

These types of objective medical "proof" put you in a better position to get your claim for disability benefits approved.
