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.

Many times depression cases involve a great deal of records on your mental health. Some things that disability looks at in the records are; your energy levels; your feelings of self worth; sleeping patterns; loss of interest in things; suicidal thoughts; decreased need for sleep; hyperactivity; hallucinations. These are some of the issues that your medical records usually address when it comes to your mental illness and depression.

Social Security Disability takes the above mentioned factors and then asks you; have you had episodes of mental breakdowns? Are your activities severely marked, ie effected? Are there repeated episodes of mental breakdowns, and how long do they last? Can you adjust to the surroundings of a changing work place? These are some of the issues that disability will look at along with your medical records that contain specific facts about your mental health and depression.

Depression is a real chemical imbalance, the diagnosis of it, and the treatment of depression has come a long way. Social Security Disability recognizes that depression is real and as such it has become a listing under which disability can be granted if you meet the requirements.

Please give me a call toll free at 1-(877) 271-2633, or local at (615) 308-2633 and I would be pleased to assist you in your disability claim. If you can’t come to my law office, I will come to meet you.

Many signs of Bipolar disorder are things such as; Decreased energy; feelings of guilt; flights of ideas; feelings of grandeur; lack of sleep; sleeping for long periods of time; and eating disorders. There are a host of issues that result from Bipolar disorder, the above few illustrate the difficulty in functioning daily, and these above issues do not include all the side effects mental health drugs prescribed to controll these symptoms produce.    

The condition for Bipolar disability are met when you have documented medical proof of the condition. The disability needs to be documented to almost its onset, (the year is started). It is very helpful in these cases to have the psychiatrist  fill out a form known as a medical source statement. The medical source statement is a form that allows the Dr. to tell the Social Security Disability department about your current condition, it can be viewed by the judge, as well as the other individuals that review your claim at the department of disability.

Many times people who suffer from some form of mental illness such as Bipolar disorder, also have a substance abuse problem. Many times I find that my clients are what is refered to as self medicating, because they cannot afford the expensive mental health drugs to stablize their condition. This issue can and must be explained to Social Security Disability, as long as the claimant is free of substance abuse now, that past self medication is not an absolute bar to obtaining your disability.

If you or a loved one suffer from Bipolar disorder, please give my office a call, we would be pleased to speak with you at toll free (877) 271-1633 or local at (615) 308-2633.

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.
