Muscular Dystrophy is a recognized listing under the rules of Social Security Disability. The listing requirements are found under the classification of listing 11.04 Central Nervous System. The disability requirements include:
A. Sensory or motor aphasia resulting in ineffective speech or communication ; or
B. Significant and persistent disorganization of motor function in two extremities resulting in sustained disturbance of gross and dexterous movements, or gait and station.
This technical listing does not do much to show the results of muscular dystrophy. Some cases will require a hearing before an administrative law judge to adquately show the damage that this deadly disease inflicts on people. It is essential to combine the client’s testimony and medical records to be successful in a claim such as this one.
Please give me a call at toll free (877) 271-2633 or local at (615) 308-2633 to review your claim. I would be pleased to assist you in your time of need.
