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.

WHAT YOU WILL BE ASKED AT A DISABILITY HEARING

Most Social Security disability claims will be denied twice:  First at the end of the Application process, and again after the "Reconsideration" process.  The third stop will be a hearing before a federal Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). It is here at the hearing level that most SSDI claims are paid.  So, what do you need to know about your Social Security disability hearing?     First, the judge will follow the rules established by the Social Security Administration.  His or her job is to determine whether you meet the particular laws and rules to receive disability payments.  So, it is a legal proceeding where you must prove certain things in order to get paid. Among the things you must prove:  Your insured status with Social Security:  You have worked recently enough and paid into the Social Security trust fund to gain the required "work credits" to support your claim.  You have a severe medical or mental impairment supported by adequa...

WHAT TYPE OF DENIALS DOES SOCIAL SECURITY ISSUE?

In Social Security disability, the most common denials are medical denials.  This means that Social Security doesn't believe the medical evidence in your case meets the exacting standards for an award of disability.  There are technically two kinds of medical denials: 1.  You are able to perform some of your past relevant work.  They have looked at your work history for the past 15 years and judged that your medical conditions permit you to perform one or more of your past jobs.  This is what we call a "Step 4 denial." 2.  You are not able to perform any of your past work - but there is other work in the national economy that you are able to do.  This is called a "Step 5 denial" because it occurs at the 5th and final "step" in the decision making process. There are other types of denials, not nearly as common as the two above.  We sometimes think of these as "automatic" denials or "technical denials."  They are not medical decisions...
