Abstract of the Social Security Disability Case:
Our client was a 52-year old woman with a work history consisting primarily of light, semi-skilled jobs.
Medical Impairment of the Claimant:
Her disability stemmed from her Major Depression, COPD and Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease. Her depression causes recurrent panic attacks, social withdrawal and suicidal ideation. Her COPD causes her fatigue and shortness of breath that require daily nebulizer treatments. Lastly, her Lumbar DDD results in chronic back pain.
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 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 that she rarely leaves the house due to panic attacks and has daily crying spells. She spends most of the day lying down due to her shortness of breath and back pain. Lastly, her doctor has prescribed a walker, which she uses for balance.
