Using a cane can increase the value of your Illinois Work Comp case and help you win your Social Security Disability case.
You should tell your doctor why you need a cane, and ask for a prescription for the cane.
Some doctors may ask why you need it. You can just go to a store and buy a cane.
You may tell the doctor that a prescription will help you get a properly fitted cane, and that some insurance companies will pay for the cane with a prescription.
Judges give more weight to your case if you have a prescription for the cane.
