Disability insurance companies often look through your social media, medical records and the statements you have made with a fine toothed comb. Do you know why they do this? They are trying to find inconsistencies in how your describe your symptoms and ability to function. When they find such an inconsistency, your disability insurance company may deny your claim or stop paying benefits on the basis that your credibility is in question.
Your doctors make a clinical note of your symptoms and progress on each visit. You can imagine how bad it would look if those records contain information inconsistent with how you are portraying your condition to your insurance company. Remember therefore to be thorough in describing all of your complaints to your doctor.
Your disability insurance adjuster will try to engage you in many conversations over the telephone. Those calls may be recorded and certainly the insurance adjuster will type out a log note of their version of the conversation. This log note will become part of your disability claim file. Be truthful and do no allow the adjuster to put words in your mouth or to misinterpret what you are saying. Those very log notes may be used by your disability insurance company to deny your claim or to stop paying you short term or long term disability benefits on the basis that you have made inconsistent statements.
