MATTHEWS, NORTH CAROLINA Complete the following form if seeking help from a disability lawyer or attorney in Matthews, North Carolina NC
If you are filing for disability in north carolina, do not estimate the role your doctor may effectively play in your case...or not play. Too many claimants, particularly those who are not represented, do not consider the utilitarian value of getting a statement from their treating physician. However, this can sometimes make all the difference. If you do get such a statement, of course, the statement should be fairly detailed and should clearly address your functional limitations since this is exactly what the social security administration is looking for to determine your social security disability or SSI disability eligibility.
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.
"Stills Disease-a type of systemic onset Rheumatoid Arthritis. The disease involves ups and downs with relapses and complications from steroids and other medicine side-effects."
"Severe respiratory problems, I am asthmatic can't breathe at night can't sleep for more than 1-2 hours at a time, have severe allergic attacks with coughing till I vomit and rib cage pain lasting for weeks on end"
"I have Fibromyalgia, I have had a full disc replacement in my neck and just recently in December I had a major back surgery."
