How do I get a lawyer in north carolina to handle my disability claim? Usually, this is a fairly simple matter. You can pick up the phone book and look under the attorney section to locate a lawyer who specializes in social security disability or ssi, or you can use an online source to find suitable representation. Generally, as long as your claim has at least some merit to it (i.e. some possibility of being won), you shouldn't have too much difficulty in finding a qualified and experienced individual to handle your case for you. One thing to keep in mind, however is this: a non attorney representative can be just as effective as an attorney. In fact, many non attorney disability representatives are former employees of the social security administration and "know the system" inside and out. Many attorneys will not have this advantage. The author of this site, by the way, is an nonattorney.

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.

"Chronic Migraine headaches that cause me to miss 1-2 days a month from work and sometimes several days a week several weeks in a row. I have lost 2 jobs in the past 2 years due to this problem."

"Multiple sclerosis... chronic pain,,vertigo, carpal tunnel, weakness in left arm and left leg, depression,fatigue, hermitts sign, attention span problems, memory."

"Reflex Sympathetic Distrophy. Unfortunately, I contracted this disease during a routine bi-lateral bunionectomy. My foot turns purple, swells and is constantly bareing an inside sting or burn that I am unable to contend with."

"I've had 3 hip replacements, a broken femur and now I think I have a torn rotator cuff. I also have heel spurs that are very large and hooked."

"Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Currently I spend large part of the day sleeping. When I have attempted to do anything either mentally or physically challenging, my strength gives out almost immediately. My vision is blurred almost daily; usually due to eyes crossing from weakness."
