Disability insurance has a mi rad of regulations and rules that are outside scope of most physicians. Physicians are only responsible to document the ailment and then whether that affects your ability to do your job - any restrictions.. Whether that is enough to get disability insurance, yo need to speak to your HR department or a lawyer that specializes in this field.
