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.

Denied My Disability

by Disability Lawyer

Denied my disability, how can they do that? Often the first words I hear are the title of this article, I can’t believe they denied my disability. Unfortunately that is most common in the area of law I practice, Social Security Disability. Some people are under the impression that one need only apply, and that will result in receiving benefits, most of the time that is simply not true. The truth is more than not, you will saying they denied my disability, I cant believe it. We see this everyday at our office, please give me a call, after you have said to yourself they denied my disability, make me your next move.

Today Social Security has developed many ways to apply for disability, you can use the internet, the phone or mail. I encourage clients who come to see me before they apply, to use the internet. If you use the internet you will not have to wait on a phone, and you can apply seven days a week, and at anytime of the day. However, as stated above, you will probably receive the standard denial letter after your application for disability benefits has been fully completed.

Once you are denied disability, the clock is ticking, you are under a deadline to get your information returned to Social Security Disability or you risk your case being denied based on a failure to meet the deadlines, this step of the appeal process is known as reconsideration. If you fail to make their deadlines, usually you must refile all over again from the beginning with Social Security.

Once your first appeal is in, usually you will be denied for a second time, once you are denied the second time you must again meet deadlines or your disability claim will be denied, and you will have to start all over from the beginning. This next step in your appeal process is called asking for an ALJ hearing. There are many forms and documents that must be filled out and returned to Social Security, it may seem like many of the documents have already been filled out when you applied, but you must fill them out again if you wish to properly proceed with your appeal and be heard by the ALJ.

If there is situation where you have missed your disability deadline by a short time, I have been successful in re-opening cases for clients, and thus they do not have to start all over. Social Security Disability is very particular about making deadlines in regards to your disability claim.

After filing for your ALJ hearing at Social Security they will inform you of the new dates, the required paperwork, when your hearing will be, who your vocational expert will be, and when you must provide Social Security Disability with all your updated medical records, without your updated records it may be impossible to prove your claim. I always like to include when possible, a medical source statement filled out by a medical doctor.

Social Security Disability is a daunting task, the above explanation of the claims process is only a glimpse of the work that goes into a client’s case. Should you need an attorney to represent you in your claim, whether you are about to file, or you are about to have a hearing, please give me a call, I would enjoy speaking with you.

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.
