TOP 10 CONDITIONS MOST OFTEN APPROVED FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY

 

Here are the top ten conditions that get approved for Social Security disability (Huntsville, Alabama)

The truth is, almost ANY condition may qualify for Social Security disability payments if it is severe and has a duration of at least 12 months or more.

What Social Security values most is recent medical evidence showing the severity of the medical/mental condition and how it effects the ability to work.

For example, it is not enough to prove that you have a musculoskeletal disorder. All such disorders are not disabling. You must show that your disorder is so severe that it significantly hinders your ability to work a full-time job on a consistent basis. Good medical evidence is the key to success.

I must also point out that persistence is required. Social Security will deny over 7 out of 10 disability claims initially. It is often necessary to appeal the denials and push the case up the system so that the claim can be won and paid in the app3eals process. Don't give up after the first denial.

Objective Medical Evidence means the result of medical examinations, laboratory tests or imaging studies (X-rays, PT scans, MRI or CT scans). This type of evidence can only be obtained by going to your doctor.

IS IT HARD TO GET SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY IN TENNESSEE?

  How hard is it to get Social Security disability (SSDI) in Tennessee? It can be very difficult.  In the beginning stages of the process, it seems like the agency is out to deny as many claims as possible.  Later--in the appeals process--it takes more technical and legal skill to move through the labyrinth of obstacles. What's the usual reason for an SSDI denial? If you look at all the denial letters, the most comm on reason given is:  You are not disabled according to our rules. The 2 main explanation for finding claimants not disabled are: 1.  You are able to perform some of your past relevant work. 2.  You can't perform any of your past work but you are able to do other work. Those are the two "catch all" reasons Social Security gives for nearly all of their denials.  Both of these reasons fall into the category of a medical denial .  The claimant's condition is not deemed severe enough to prevent all work. There are other reasons for d...

CAN YOU WIN YOUR DISABILITY APPEAL WITHOUT A LAWYER?

The Social Security Administration does not require you to have a lawyer to file an appeal or to appear at a hearing.  However, most people heading for a disability hearing will hire a lawyer or advocate to help them.   Studies have shown that you are about twice as likely to win with a lawyer.  A recent study found that claimants with no lawyer win about 30 percent of the time while claimants with a lawyer or advocate win 60 percent of the time.   " He just cooked his own goose." These statistics cover only one aspect of a disability appear--your odds of winning. The other important aspects are time and convenience. If you prepare and adjudicate your own disability appeal, expect to spend 12 to 24 months working on the case.  You will be collecting, reading and submitting hundreds or thousands of pages of medical records.  These records are complex and often difficult to understand.  And you must know how each medical record helps (or hurts) your dis...
