Welcome to Season 5, Episode 16 of Winning Isn't Easy. In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Navigating Claims With Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT)."

Join attorney Nancy L. Cavey, a leading expert in disability claims, for an eye-opening discussion on a frequently misunderstood condition with major implications for long-term disability benefits: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, or CMT. If you haven’t heard of CMT, you’re not alone. Though it’s one of the most common inherited neurological disorders, it’s often overlooked - especially in disability evaluations. That oversight can cost you the benefits you need. In today’s episode, we’ll break down what CMT is, how it progresses, and why it can be more disabling than people - including insurance companies - realize. From muscle weakness and balance issues to pain and fatigue, we’ll explore how to document your condition effectively and meet insurer expectations. You’ll learn how CMT interacts with disability policy standards, what evidence to submit, and how to avoid the most common claim mistakes. Whether you’re applying, appealing, or just exploring your options, this episode is packed with strategies to protect your financial future. Let’s get into it.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:

One - Understanding Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

Two - Challenges in Proving Disability with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

Three - Best Practices for Long-Term Disability Claims Involving Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

Whether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey. Don't miss it.
