GRAHAM, NORTH CAROLINA Complete the following form if seeking help from a disability lawyer or attorney in Graham, North Carolina NC
If you are filing for disability in Graham, North Carolina, can you get extra help if you are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless. It depends on what you mean by extra help. Local Social Services Departments may be able to lend assistance via their adult services programs. However, this has no connection with social security disability or SSI disability, both of which are federal programs. If, though, you are in danger of becoming homeless while you are filing for these benefits, and if your case is waiting for a hearing date to be scheduled, you can make a "dire need" request and potentially have the scheduling of your disability hearing speeded up a bit. If you have an attorney or non attorney representative, this individual can guide you in this area.
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.
"Severe radiculopathy with numbness and tingling and parathesia in my left leg (severe sciatica). I am almost unable to stand or walk for longer than 5-10 minutes. I have sharp pains in the lower right side of my back, in the sacroiliac and the L1 through L5 region."
"I am a diabetic and have arthritis as well. I am unable to stand for very long periods of time, nor am I able to sit in one position for very long. I have had asthma in the past as well and have trouble breathing at times."
