In appears to me in representation of claimants with severe obesity that many times a major weight bearing joint is affected, meaning a knee, leg, hip, ankle, etc. The reason this is so important as a factor lies in the social security ruling 02-01p(5),  does your weight bearing joints and or joint have arthritis and does it affect your ability to ambulate and or walk or stand? I have met with and represented many obese individuals who can no longer walk without the assistance of a cane or walker, there ability to ambulate effectively has stopped, and thus they become disabled.

Losing weight is never easy, and most people I represent simply do not have the money to have surgery to help them with weight loss, so generally under the ruling above it is not a reason alone to deny you disability because you cant afford the weight loss surgery. Many of my clients have tried to lose weight and simply can’t do it.

You need only give us a call if you suffer from severe obesity and or being severely over weight, we would be very pleased to help you. At my law office socialsecuritydenied.com you will speak directly to me, and you can be assured that at my office the most important case is your case.

Breaking your leg, known as the femur bone is a very big health issue. Many times the individual is placed on a pressure machine when the femur bone is broken. Even after leaving the hospital and reaching the point where an individual can walk, the lasting effects of a broken leg can be life changing for an individual who is 50 years of age or older. Many individuals experience a permanent limp, and or require permanent assistance with a cane.

Many of my clients use their legs and backs everyday they work, they carry, lift, move and fix objects that can weigh upwards of 100 pounds or more. With a healed broken leg many clients never gain back their full mobility, and can never lift the weight that they once could at their job. Some clients even are required to use a cane for mobility, and thus their former work is no longer available.

PAD affects many individuals as they walk, a muscle at rest may not require as much blood flow, therefore when someone is is not using their muscles claudication will not take place, but as soon as the muscle  comes into use, ie walking, the pain begins and the limited blood flow prevents that person from walking, standing, and or performing a function necessary for employment. This is a reason many people seek disability after suffering with PAD.

I have discovered that many claimants take the blood thinning drug called Coumadin. Coumadin can work, however even a minor cut on the job could result in serious injury and or death, because the person will bleed far more freely.  PAD is a very serious disease, should you need assistance with your social security disability claim, please feel free to phone me, there is no charge for me to review your claim. I look forward to hearing from you.

While in recent years some new and promising breakthroughs have taken place in regards to MS, the continued toll on the body that MS takes is over whelming to most individuals. It destroys many claimants ability to do simple task such as walk, take care of themselves, shop for groceries and live independently.

It is hard for many of my clients to accept the results of MS, many clients tell me that their last resort is filing for disability, as they have drained their savings and have no other options. I always tell clients that filing for disability when you have MS is nothing to be bashful about, the cost of today’s medicines and treatment are far more than most people can afford.

I would be pleased to assist you with your claim, you need only phone my office, and if you can’t come to me, I will come to you. When you phone my law office you will speak directly to me, and I will be the one to represent you through your entire claim. I look forward to helping you and being your MS disability attorney.

Crohns disease can most certainly be described as any inflammation of any part of the gastrointestinal tract, but most often Crohn’s disease is the inflammation of the distal ileum or colon. Sometimes complete removal of the colon is required, however this is no guarantee that the pain will stop. Most Crohns disease claimants go through episodes of the disease, the key part of the Social Security listing for it is, how long does the period of recurrence last? How long does persistence last? How long does the intermittent obstruction last?

Although difficult to discuss, the main issues with Crohn’s disease can be the constant diarrhea and weight loss, the diarrhea is so difficult sometimes that it prevents clients from keeping their job. The weight loss can lead to devastating health issues, and without medical treatment, possibly death.

The drugs used to treat Crohn’s disease can have terrible side effects. The drug Prednisone is used in the most severe cases of the disease. It is most important to describe these side effects to Social Security Disability. Hospital stays are generally part of a client’s treatment if they have been prescribed Prednisone, it is a sign of how serious the condition has become for the client.

The importance of all medical records and client’s testimony relating to this disease cannot be understated. The medical records for a Crohns disease claimant reveal the doctors thoughts, treatments, recurrence, and treatment of the disease, the records are also used to show an arthritic condition that occurs with Crohns disease.   The testimony although sometimes hard for the client to discuss is essential as well, it is so very important to let Social SecurityDisability know about your conditions including, diarrhea, fevers, arthritis, and pain.

I would be please to speak with you about your disability claim, there is never a fee at my law office unless I win your claim, and there is no obligation for calling. Feel free to reach me at toll free (877) 271-2633 or our local number at (615) 308-2633.

I look forward to hearing from you.

The time between  receiving the letter and your disability hearing is a great time to gather and or make Social Security Disability aware of your continuing treatment, or for those who cant afford any treatment, it is a time to see some of the Social Security Doctors, or other health care professionals for the evaluation of your disability.  This is also a great time for me to review your records, and before your hearing date write a pre-trial brief.

I prepare a brief for your disability hearing to help point the judge to our strongest medical arguments for your disability claim. It is a brief including your medical records, your history of work, education, and procedural things like when you applied and were denied. It allows the judge to get a snap shot of your case before and during your hearing.

I am often asked, Do I have to say anything?  Simply the answer is yes, the disability judge will generally ask you questions about your daily activities, your financial history, your work background, and most importantly your health issues. Honesty in this questioning is crucial to your case, it is never acceptable to answer the judge with anything but the truth.  Many times my clients are fearful of some of their answers hurting the claim, and most of their worries are unfounded, honesty is always the best policy at your hearing.

How long until I get a ruling from the disability judge, after my hearing? There is no timeline for a decision, but usually I would say 4 to 5 weeks until a decision will be made. They will send a copy to me as your lawyer, and to you.

These are a few of the things that occure at your hearing for Social Security Disability, should you have any questions always feel free to phone the law office at toll free 1-800-271-2633 or local at 615-308-2633.
