Can you win ssi or social security disability benefits in north carolina without representation? About thirty percent of those who file for disability benefits in north carolina win their cases at the initial claim level and the majority of them are not represented by a lawyer or by a non attorney representative. So, yes, you can win disability benefits even if you are not represented. However, for the 70 percent that are denied and are forced to file appeals, the chance of winning benefits will go up substantially if they obtain competent representation.

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.
