Her disability stemmed from her Bipolar Disorder that causes depressive symptoms, recurrent panic attacks, anxiety, poor memory and concentration, and irritability.
What level did the claimant win Social Security disability benefits?

How did the Social Security Lawyers of Berry & Associates help the claimant win disability benefits?
Early on we counseled our client to carefully document all of her symptoms with her physician. As a result, we were able to obtain a written opinion form from her psychiatrist as to what our client's capabilities were. We then argued that these capabilities and limitations made her past work and other work, impossible. Through questioning, the claimant described recurrent panic attacks, up to 5 times per week, and poor concentration that affects her ability to complete tasks.
