How Social Security disability attorneys at Berry & Associates helped win this Diabetes Type II Social Security Disability case
Abstract of the Social Security Disability Case:
Our client was a 32 year-old woman with a work history consisting primarily of cashier, certified nursing assistant and home health aid. Her past work was light to medium and semi-skilled.
Medical Impairment of the Claimant:
Her disability stemmed from her Diabetes Type II with neuropathy. Her symptoms included pain and numbness in her lower extremities.
What level did the claimant win Social Security disability benefits?
At a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)
How did the Social Security Lawyers of Berry & Associates help the claimant win disability benefits?
Early on we counseled our client to carefully document her neuropathic pain and how it restricted her basic activities. We were able to obtain a written opinion form physicians 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 how the pain and numbness in her lower extremities causes her to elevate her legs 4 to 5 times a day and that she can only walk and stand about 15 minutes at a time. These restrictions preclude competitive employment.
Recommendations for others with Type II Diabetes with Neuropathy that are might be eligible for Social Security Disability?
It is important to point out that this is a brief synopsis of what was a complex disability issue. Like all Social Security Disability Cases, there was a lot on the line. 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.
