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.

IF I CHANGE ATTORNEYS WILL IT DELAY MY DISABILITY CASE?

No.  Getting a new attorney will NOT delay your pending Social Security disability claim or appeal .  Your new attorney "inherits" the case and picks up where the other attorney left off.  There is no re-filing or starting over, so your case is not set back or delayed at all.  Social Security maintains an electronic folder stored in its system.  This folder contains every document ever submitted concerning your claim or appeal.  Your new lawyer may log into your electronic files and see, in real time, all the evidence and other documents in your file. While we do not recommend changing attorneys while your case is pending a decision, it is sometimes necessary.  You may need a new lawyer if your attorney dies, retires or  becomes disabled before your case is settled.  You may choose a new attorney without delaying or causing any set back to your case. If you are considering obtaining a lawyer to handle your Social Security disability case in...

DOGE personnel must follow the law and if they violate the law they will be referred to the Department of Justice for possible prosecution.                      ...
