Do You Qualify for Social Disability?
| Do you qualify for Social Security Disability? |
Sounds like an easy question, right? You say to yourself, your doctors and your family, "I cannot work due to physical and/or mental conditions. Yes, I need my disability benefits." But most people do not realize that pain, memory problems, and medication side effects are only a few factors that the Social Security Administrations takes into consideration when reviewing a disability application. Attorney Riggins has handled hundreds of Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)(adult and children) in her legal career. She has represented clients that solely have depression or just fibromyalgia and been successful. If you are in constant pain, have swelling and joint discomfort or maybe you have crying spells, dislike crowds and people, all of these symptoms could support your claim for Social Secuirty Disability.

Let me explain to you personally what the qualifications are needed, how the Social Security Administration (SSA) evaluates your claim, and why seeing a judge may not be a bad thing. No matter what, you need to do something, right? Bills are still coming in and the pain has not gone away. How Do I Apply for Social Security Disability? Call- (800)- 772-1213
Or Visit your local Social Security Administration Office BEWARE!-- If you choose to visit your local office, you may want to contact it first to arrange an appointment. There are usually long lines at the Social Security Administration office. How Do I Prove that I am Disabled for the benefits? First, the best evidence is a complete copy of all of your medical records before and during the disability. The earliest records should be at least one year for the disability started or became severe. The records should be from all of your doctors. Social Security disability does not just consider one condition-- but the whole person. For example you have a better chance of getting disability if you provide them with all your medical records about carpal tunnel, migraines, low back pain, TMJ, arthritis, and depression. Instead of just telling them about the doctors that treated you after the terrible car crash which lead to the low back pain.
Social Security sent me to a doctor. Is that good? In several cases, the Social Security Administration will send people to their doctors for an appointment. This doctor will not treat you during this appointment. This doctor will complete a quick evaluation of you and then fill out a form regarding your case. Most of the time, this doctor's visit does not help you but there are rules out there they say you have to attend. Do not worry, a qualified Social Security attorney knows how to discredit this report if it does not support your claim. |
