Medical Impairment of the Claimant:
Her disability stemmed from her Lumbar Radiculitis with Sciatica. Consequently, she was experiencing pain in her back that radiated down through both legs and into her feet.
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 all of her symptoms with her physician. As a result, we were able to obtain a written opinion 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 that the pain in her back and legs cause her to lie down 3 to 4 hours in total during an 8-hour day. In addition, our client testified to not being able to carry more than 5 pounds frequently and that she can only be on her feet for 15 minutes at a time.
