At a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) How did the Social Security Lawyers of Berry & Associates help the claimant win disability benefits? Berry & Associates has significant experience with Congestive Heart Failure and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease cases. We counseled our client to document how often she was lying down throughout the course of the day. Through testimony the claimant explained that her severe fatigue and shortness of breath causes her to lie down 2 to 3 hours in total in an 8-hour day. Additionally, the claimant stated that she administers her nebulizer treatments 4 times a day at unpredictable intervals. We then argued that these limitations made her past work and other work impossible.
