LEWISVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA Complete the following form if seeking help from a disability lawyer or attorney in Lewisville, North Carolina NC
Whenever possible, a claimant for social security disability in north carolina (or ssi benefits) should obtain copies of their medical records and attach these to their application or appeal paperwork. Why should you do this? Because getting a claimant's medical records together is what consumes the majority of a disabity examiner's time on a social security disability case (examiners process claims for the social security administration). By providing all of your medical records (including the most recent records) when you apply or appeal, you can save the disability examiner and yourself a huge amount of processing time on a case.
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 2 herniated disks and scoliosis. I was told that since I am a diabetic, surgery would be a last resort. Although I have had some treatment and am on some medications for pain, I am still having pain in my right hip and down into my right leg and foot. I am unable to sit for long periods of time or be on my feet for long periods of time."
"Shoulder injury/surgery prevents me from doing past employment of 22 years. I have ddd in my back as well as sciatic nerve trouble in both hips and legs. I have had surgery on both hands for carpal tunnel"
