How did the Social Security Lawyers of Berry & Associates help the claimant win SSI Disability benefits?
Berry & Associates has significant experience with Crohn's Disease SSI Disability cases. We know that the manifestations of this disease can preclude any type of work. From the beginning, we counseled our client to make sure her doctors were documenting the diarrhea, fatigue and abdominal pain. Through testimony the claimant explained that she needed to use the restroom 10 to 12 times per day, at unpredictable intervals. Also, her fatigue would cause her to lie down several hours during the day.
