DISABILITY LAWYER - BOONE NC NORTH CAROLINA

BOONE, NORTH CAROLINA Complete the following form if seeking help from a disability lawyer or attorney in Boone, North Carolina NC

If you apply for disability benefits from the social security administration in north carolina (in boone and other areas), will you have appear before a judge? Not necessarily. About thirty percent of those who apply for disability benefits are approved. For those who are not approved for disability, they have the choice of not continuing to pursue their claim or filing an appeal. If you file your first appeal and get denied, then you may request a second appeal and this will take your case before an administrative law judge.

Can you win disability for only certain impairments, or on the basis of any impairment?

Answer: The Social Security Administration's disability evaluation system does not focus on a claimant's diagnosis, but, rather, on the functional limitations a claimant has. In other words, the name of the condition is not the chief consideration. How the condition "affects and limits: the indiviual is the primary concern. So, yes, disability benefits can be won on the basis of nearly any condition provided that the condition is sufficiently limiting.

As these hypothetical examples show, disabling conditions can take a wide variety of forms.

"I have Rheumatoid arthritis. I have general stiffness and swelling in my joints. I am on numerous medications to slow down the progression of my arthritis. I also have depression as a consequence and suffer from extreme fatigue."

"Severe arthritis caused by abnormal foot formation as a child. Any extended ambulation causes severe inflamation in tendons of foot/ankle and joint pain. Work permanently restricted to use of a double upright brace and no walking/standing more than 4 hours per day. Current treatment is only bracing with the outlook of probable eventual arthordesis of both foot and ankle."

"I was diagnosed with Lupus. I have kidney failure and congested heart failure and hypertension. When I have a flare-up I am unable to function proporly. I don't have any medical coverage. The medication that I have to take is very expensive. I just received a letter of denial from SSi. I applied for medicad and I was denied the first time. I re-applied a 2nd time but I 'm still waiting for a response. "
