However there are many other factors that Social Security disability looks at in regards to your disease.

In being your kidney disease disability attorney I will show to Social Security disability the effects the disease has had on your life. I will put forth factors such as your work history, age, education, ability to function in the work place, and limits on your daily living activities.

Multiple Sclerosis Disability Attorney

by Disability Lawyer

Multiple Sclerosis under Social Security Disability is listed as the following:

(a) Disorganization of motor function as described in 11.04B; or

(b) Visual or mental impairment as described under the criteria in 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or 12.02; or

(c) Significant, reproducible fatigue of motor function with substantial muscle weakness on repetative activity, demonstrated on physical examination, resulting from neurological dysfunction in the areas of the central nervous system known to be pathologically involved by the multiple sclerosis process.

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease based on the lesions that appear on the brain, the problem in regards to proving it for Social Security Disability is that it is impossible to have an MRI done of each lesion on the brain, as they appear and dissappear, so it is not practicle or possible to prove each and every symptom medically to Social Security Disability. Your testimoney is very important in these type claims.

Your subjective symptoms are the most important factor to relate to Social Security Disability under the Multiple Sclerosis listing. As noted in sect. C of the listing, motor function fatigue, and muscle weakness are important factors to meeting the listing. Many claimants under the listing experience vision problems, weakness, fatigue, balance issues, and overall lack of energy. It is very important to convey these symptoms to Social Security at your hearing or appeal. The problem that many individuals have with Multiple Sclerosis is one day they will feel good, and the next day they can’t walk, it is again important to convey this to Social Security.

For assistance in your Social Security Disability claim, please feel free to phone the law office Monday through Friday at toll free 1 (877) 271-2633 or local at (615) 308-2633, I look forward to hearing from you.

Sensory or moro aphasia resulting in ineffective speech or communication; or
Significant and persistent disorganization of motor function in two extremities, resulting in sustained disturbance of gross and dexterous movements, or gait and station.

A stroke may inflict many other types damages to the body including, vision, hearing, and understanding. Social Security will take these other type damages into account when determining your disability claim.

It is important in a disability claim where a stroke is the reason for the disability, to explain to the judge not only the outward signs of a stroke, but the issues regarding ones ability to think and reason, sometimes these things are not as apparant, and it is often helpful to explain them at your hearing.

Tennessee Disability Attorney

by Disability Lawyer

As an Attorney representing people for their Social Security Disability I find that there are some important questions that have to be asked before the hearing or appeal of my clients claims, I thought I would share these questions with other individuals who might be in the middle of their Social Security Disability claim.

I start with the questions that in my opinion are important to Social Security, and they are as follows:

How old was the client at the date they claimed disability? This is very important under the rules of Social Security, there are certain ages that change the way your claim is looked at on the Grid, (the grid is a system developed by Social Security to assist in the evaluation of your claim), claimants being older at the date of their disability have a less stringent placement on the grid system.
What is your education level, again this question is important in every aspect of a disability claim, but especially as it relates to the grid system used by Social Security Disability.
Work experience, the type of work you have done in your past is placed against what definition Social Security has in the defining of your work, this is done through use of a book accepted by Social Security. It can define your work as either skilled or unskilled, both definitions of your past work are very important to your claim.
Daily activities, meaning what do you do during your normal days while waiting on your disability decision? It requires a thoughtful look back into your daily routine, it is very important to know this information.
If you are not working, how are you surviving financially? This question requires an accurate statement of how you are surviving financially without working, while waiting on a decision about your claim.

I hope these thoughts have been helpful, if my law office can be of help to you in your social security claim for disability please give me a call at Toll Free 1 (877) 271-2633 or local at (615) 308-2633.

Blind Disability

by Disability Lawyer

There is a listing under Social Security Disability for poor vision. The listings for poor vision or being blind is very technical in nature, the listings are as follows:

Impairment of central visual acuity
Contraction of peripheral visual fields in the better eye
Loss of visual efficiency
Complete homonymous hemianopsia
Total bilateral ophthalinopiegia

Each of the above listings require a medical technical explanation, however it is possible to not meet the technical listings and still be declared disabled under the listing of poor vision. Things that have to be considered range from, how your hand eye coordination is effected because of your poor vision, to your inability to perform past work due to your poor vision, this is especially true when a claimant is 50 years old or older, at this point the burden would shift to Social Security to prove there is alternative work for you.

Being blind affects all types of jobs and professions, with a loss of site one cannot drive, read, perform tasks on an assembly line, the list is endless. A visual impairment can be a devastating condition for many families where the individual losing their site is the only one working. Please give me a call so that I may assist you in this time of need, I have successfully argued blind cases to Social Security Disability Courts, and I would be pleased to assist you, I may be reached toll free at 1 (877) 271-2633, or local at (615) 308-2633.

Disability Jobs

by Disability Lawyer

Often you may here someone say, “Social Security Disability said I can take up tickets at a toll booth, they don’t think I am disabled”. What that person is really talking about is called unskilled work, skilled work, and or transferable job skills. Under Social Security there will be a determination made as to whether your past work was unskilled or skilled, and it has very important consequences.

Lets first start with who decides whether you had an unskilled job, or skilled job, Social Security Disability uses a vocational expert. A vocational expert is someone who has studied in the field of Vocational Evaluation and rehabilitation, they are employed by Social Security to evaluate past work history and surmise what type work you can do now, if any at all.

At the hearing of your claim before the Judge, you will appear with your attorney and the vocational expert. There are two important statements a vocational expert can make about your case, the first is determining if your former job was skilled or unskilled, the next is determining if you had a skilled job, is there any transferable job skills to allow you to do another job?

Unskilled, if the vocational expert determines that you had a job that was unskilled, then there will be no transferable job skills to worry about, however the expert may testify that you can do other non skilled work, at this point it is very important to know what your limitations are, in regards to ability to do types of work;sedentary work, light work, medium work. Understanding where you might fall is very important for the Social Security Grid System. The grid system is a chart developed by Social Security that uses many factors, (including age, job skills, education, ability to do light, work, sedentary work, or medium work) to help the Judge determine your disability.

How is skilled work judged? Under 82-41 it makes the following points:

Skills can only be transferred from one specific job to another
A worker who in the past has performed only unskilled work, cannot have skills
Skilled work cannot be transferred to unskilled work
Skills are not transferable if the new skilled job requires significant training
Worker traits such as, alertness, dexterity are not skills, they are only traits
Any job requiring 30 days or more of training is not considered unskilled

It is fundamental to understand skilled and unskilled work when dealing with a vocation expert at the hearing of your matter. Please give my law office a call toll free at 1 (877) 271-2633, or local at (615) 308-2633, I would be pleased to review your claim, I represent hard working people.

How to Qualify for Disability

by Disability Lawyer

How does one qualify for Disability, in regards to their work history and past earnings, this does not address the medical condition, this only addresses whether you qualify to be under the Disability Insurance should you also have the accompanying medical condition that renders you disabled.

The Social Security Administration has developed a simple chart, the credits that you need under the chart are earned during your working years. You will earn one credit for every $1,050.00 dollars you make each year, and you may earn up to four credits each year you work. The chart below sets out the age at which you became disabled along with the required credits needed to qualify for Disability Insurance under Social Security.

31 – 42, you will need 20 credits with five years of work
44, you will need 22 credits with five and half years of work
46, you will need 24 credits with 6 years of work
48, you will need 26 credits with 6 and half years of work
50, you will need 28 credits with 7 years of work
52, you will need 30 credits with 7 and half years of work
54, you will need 32 credits with 8 years of work
56, you will need 34 credits with 8 and half years of work

If you become disabled at age 31 and above you will need to have generally earned at least 20 credits within the last 10 years to qualify for Disability under Social Security.
