Crohn's disease and inflammatory bowel conditions are genuinely disabling — and they produce some of the highest denial rates in disability claims. Here's why.

The most limiting aspects of these conditions are invisible to a reviewer reading a medical file. The urgency and unpredictability of symptoms. The pain on flare days. The fatigue that accumulates. None of it shows on a colonoscopy report or in standard labs.

A claim built around pathology findings alone gives the insurer everything it needs to deny. What wins these cases is a record that documents the functional impact: what the claimant can't do, consistently, and why — built by a treating physician who understands what that documentation needs to accomplish.

Your long-term disability insurer is asking for a recorded statement. Before you agree, here's what you should know.

These statements are taken to document your account of your limitations — and to find inconsistencies. Questions that sound routine are often designed to elicit answers that minimize your claim. Your responses get compared against your medical record, your prior statements, and any surveillance that has been conducted.

You generally have the right to decline a recorded statement, or to have a lawyer present. Exercising that right isn't obstruction. It's protection. Free case review — link below.

In May 2026, polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) was renamed PMOS to better reflect its full hormonal and metabolic impact — for the roughly 1 in 8 women affected, it can be far more disabling than the old name suggests. Complications like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, and depression can make full-time work genuinely difficult to sustain. Nick Ortiz breaks down what strong medical documentation looks like for a PMOS-related long-term disability claim, and where insurers typically look for gaps to deny it.

If PMOS, formerly PCOS, keeps you from working and your long-term disability (LTD) claim has been denied, Ortiz Law Firm can help you build a stronger case.

Most people filing for SSDI for the first time have no idea where their application actually goes — or who makes the decision.

After you apply, your file goes to Disability Determination Services, a state agency that operates under SSA guidelines. A non-medical examiner reviews it — often alongside a medical consultant who never meets you. Most initial applications are denied at this stage, not because they're invalid, but because the file wasn't built to meet SSA's specific evidentiary requirements.

Understanding who makes the decision and what they're looking for before you submit is one of the most useful things you can do for your claim.

If your primary care provider is a nurse practitioner, you might assume their opinion carries the same weight as a physician's in a long-term disability claim — it doesn't, but there are real steps you can take to strengthen it. Insurance companies lean on their own physicians to challenge claims, so getting a supervising or treating physician to review and co-sign your nurse practitioner's findings can make a meaningful difference. Ortiz Law Firm helps claimants close these evidence gaps before they become reasons for denial.

Many people wait until their Social Security Disability hearing to bring in an attorney — but early representation can make a real difference. Getting help at the initial application or reconsideration stage means more complete records, stronger physician forms, and fewer gaps for SSA to flag later. Ortiz Law Firm accepts SSD clients from day one, not just at the hearing stage.

Many people assume you do not need a disability attorney until you are preparing for a hearing before an administrative law judge. That assumption is wrong —
