LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA Complete the following form if seeking help from a disability lawyer or attorney in Lexington, North Carolina NC
In most cases, it's really pointless to call a social security office in North Carolina for status updates on a claim because they simply will not know the answers to your questions. This probably sounds nonsensical to anyone who is not familiar with how the social security disability and SSI system operates, but it's quite true. The way the system is set up, social security field offices only take disability applications. They do not process them. That is, they do not gather the records on a claim and they do not make decisions on claims. And for this reason, the social security office will seldom know the disposition of a claim, other than that the claim is still pending or has been decided. For status updates, it may simply be best to contact disability determination services in raleigh.
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.
"Have had manic depression episodes, beginning 12 years ago, requiring hospitalization and shock treatments. Currently have a pelvic and lower extremity bone infection and Reynaud's."
"Stroke, Heart Attack, liver disease. Stroke left me paralazed and affected my balance. I can not walk without a walker. The left side came back but is about 50%."
"Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, enlarged heart, irregular heart thythm, hepatitiss B. neuropathy in lower extremities, macular eye disease and angulare"
