How did the Social Security Lawyers of Berry & Associates help the claimant win disability benefits?
This is a case that was originally lost at the trial before the Administrative Law Judge. After carefully examining the decision, we concluded that the ALJ made several legal errors and we appealed to the Appeals Council. The Appeals Council agreed and remanded (sent back) the case to the ALJ for a new hearing. While the case was before the Appeals Council we continued to gather medical evidence and strengthened our client's position. At the second hearing the ALJ re-examined the prior evidence and the new evidence we developed. We expect a Fully Favorable Decision.
Recommendations for others with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and Cervical and Lumbar Disc Disease that might be eligible for Social Security Disability?

If you have a case similar to this one, make sure you and your doctors are documenting your condition and limitations and make you're your Social Security Disability attorney has access to these records.
