What are the Most Common Disabling Conditions for a Long Term Disability Claim

Introduction

Ninety-one percent of long-term disability claims are caused by illness and not by injury.

Main Digest

There was a recent study by the Disability Council of Awareness in which they did a survey of the long-term disability companies, as well as social security disability, and came up with what percentage of claims were caused by what types of illnesses.

For example, the major disablers were:

• musculoskeletal connective tissue, which was 22.6% of claims;
• cancer which was 13.6% of claims;
• cardiovascular disease was 10.1% of claims;
• maternity related issues was 9.4% of claims;
• injuries and accidents were 8.1% of claims;
• mental and psychiatric disorders were 6.5% of claims;
• and 5.8% of claims were neurological disorders.

This list is just an example of a few of the major disabling conditions.
