  First I would try to fight this bcuz if u read what DDD is, it is not a disease but the natural wear and tear of the spinal cord everyone has this as they age...some may experience sooner as a result of an injury or some other related condition, but without one being dx'd I would fight that one. I am not a Dr, but I have DDD and did look it up and I was told I had it at age 27....but I do have other conditions that could be the precursor for early onset.

Urs may have been the injury and they just do not want to pay out....look into it further.
