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 physician 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 her activities have decreased due to her pain and fatigue. Furthermore, her typical day consists of lying down 4 to 5 hours due to body pain, headaches and fatigue.
