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? 
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).
