PAD Disability Attorney

by Disability Lawyer

PAD also known as Peripheral Arterial Disease , is a disease that prevents parts of the body from receiving blood supply, it is a listing under social security disability law. Many of my clients with PAD will only be able to walk a few blocks, and then claudication takes place, claudication is seen when persons with PAD limp after walking a short distance. It is a direct result of the muscle not receiving enough blood.

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.

MS Disability Attorney

by Disability Lawyer

As an MS disability attorney I keep updated on MS medications and types. MS also known by its full name Multiple Sclerosis is a deadly disease. As your MS disability attorney I understand that MS attacks the brain and central nervous system. The progression of the disease can lead to severe problems with normal autonomic functions, such as digestion, heart rate, breathing and salivation. In latter stages of MS it becomes difficult for many of my clients to control their balance and walk. Fatigue will often overcome many of my clients even though they may still have the ability to walk a block or two. Let me be your choice for an MS disability Attorney.

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.

Depression Disability Attorney

by Disability Lawyer

As a depression disability attorney I understand there are many issues to address. Depression is a listing under the rules of Social Social Security Disability, it involves things such as mood disturbances, and partial or full episodes of manic behavior. In providing strong representation as a depression disability attorney I keep up to date on what social security looks at in your claim. Social Security Disability considers Mood to be your prolonged state of emotion, sometimes this can either be thoughts of excitement, or delusions of grandeur, or it can be prolonged episodes of depression involving hospital care for mental illness. Let me be your depression 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.

Burn Disability Attorney

by Disability Lawyer

You or a loved one has been burned severely, on top of the large medical bills and dealing with insurance you realize there is little to no money coming into the family for day to day living, and you realize you will never work again, Is there hope? Absolutely, I have represented burn clients in the past and continue to do so, I have found through disability representation that burn clients have far more health problems than most people would assume, besides the difficult and painful surgeries and recovery from burns, there are generally far more health problems that must be presented to the Social Security Disability judge.

The first such additional condition that most people do not think about is breathing, many of my burn clients have had to go on supplied oxygen to help with their breathing. In an explosion, sometimes the flames are quiet literally burning the lungs through the windpipe, once the lungs are scared it can be difficult, if not impossible to breath without the use of oxygen. Many clients involved with burns suffer permanent scarring of the lungs. As one might think, many employers simply will not allow you to work at their place of business, if you require the assistance of an oxygen tank.

The second problem is how the environment affects the burned areas of your body. Many people do not realize that many burned areas of the body once repaired, do not contain sweat glands, thus the client applying for disability cannot sweat, and must avoid heat and direct sunlight, this severely impairs the chances of being employed, and may eliminate any and all chances of employment. Likewise cold weather can affect a burn client’s skin as well, many if not all burn clients of mine must avoid cold weather as well as hot weather.

The third element that arises in burn cases is the scarring and mental aspects that many people suffer as a result. While the scares are visible, the mental aspects are not so visible, however this can be shown by a doctors observation of you or your loved one or family member. A medical professional can evaluate your mental condition as it relates to your disability.

If you need assistance in your disability claim, please feel free to give the law office a call at 1 (877) 271-2633 or call local at (615) 308-2633.

Disability Hearing

by Disability Lawyer

You have just received a letter telling you that Social Security Disability has your file at the regional hearing office and they will be in touch with you about a hearing, does this sound familiar? It does to many, if not all people who apply for Social Security Disability. Most people phone me and ask, What does this letter really mean? I’m I having a hearing in the next weeks, months, etc. The answer is usually no, most of the time it is many months before you will find yourself before a judge who is assigned to hear your disability claim.

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.

My Disability was Denied

by Disability Lawyer

You have worked your entire life, you become disabled, what are your options? The process of applying for disability can be an enormous task, there are deadlines to meet, appeals to file, and in most cases a hearing before a Federal Administrative Law Judge.

Where to apply for disability? You may apply either by telephone, in person at the office of Social Security, by mail, and by the website of the Social Security Department.

What happens after I apply, will I automatically get my disability? Generally speaking the answer is no, most people do not get their disability approved after their initial application.

What happens after I am denied my disability the first time? After your denial you may appeal this decision, this appeal is called reconsideration, you are asking the Social Security Disability agency to reconsider their decision, unfortunately most people are again denied at this stage as well.

What happens if they deny my appeal? You have a right to ask a Federal Administrative Law Judge to hear your case, as with this entire process you have dead lines you must meet, otherwise your claim will dismissed based on you failing to take action in the allotted time frame.

What happens at the trial of my case? You will need to have all of your medical records up to date, a trial brief is a good idea to present to the judge, your testimony, ability to cross examine the vocational expert, an understanding of the grid system, the listings, the classification of your prior jobs, the exertion limits and how they apply to possible jobs the vocational expert might say you can perform, these are a few of the things that should be done at your hearing before the judge.

How do I pay an attorney, I can’t afford one? I am payed only if I win your case, and only if there is back pay owed to you, (back pay is the money you receive if you win your claim based on the months it has taken since your date of illness that stopped you from working). The government witholds a fee from your back pay, to pay your attorney. The government caps the amount of money that can be paid to the attorney.

What is the difference if someone said they are an advocate, but not an attorney? As an Attorney I was required to attend law school for 3 years to obtain my law degree, 4 years of college, and pass a test administered by the State of Tennessee called a Bar exam, then I became licensed to practice law. An advocate that is not an attorney, has not become licensed by the Bar of their state, and has probably not attended law school, you may want to ask if the person you are allowing to represent you is a Licensed Attorney or just an advocate.

As a Licensed Attorney I would pleased to speak with you about your disability claim, please give me a call anytime Monday through Saturday at toll free (877) 271-2633.
