A chronic knee disorder can develop from an inherent physical condition, a serious injury, or be the side effect of an illness. Knee pain and impairments of the knee joint can affect just about anyone.

How Do You Appeal a Denied Disability Claim for Knee Disorder?

You do not have to accept that your rightful claim has been denied. You can and should appeal the denial, but it is wise to accept that the process for appealing a denied claim for a knee disorder is complicated. It involves much more than writing back to the insurance company asking that they reconsider their decision. The burden of proof is on you to prove to the insurance company that you are entitled to disability benefits under your policy. Your appeal must present this proof.
