How Social Security disability attorneys at Berry & Associates helped win this Multiple Sclerosis Social Security Disability case
Abstract of the Social Security Disability Case:
Our client was a 44 year-old woman with a work history consisting primarily of sedentary and skilled jobs.
Medical Impairment of the Claimant:
Her disability stemmed from her Multiple Sclerosis causing fatigue, poor concentration, unsteady gait, poor coordination, cognitive difficulties and extremity weakness.
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 from Multiple Sclerosis made her past work and other work, impossible. Through questioning, the claimant described her fatigue and extremity weakness to the point that she needs to lie down 2 to 3 hours in total during the day and requires a cane for ambulation. Also, she explained that her concentration and memory are poor and has a hard time remember instructions.
Recommendations for others with Multiple Sclerosis that 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 Multiple Sclerosis Social Security Disability cases, there was a lot on the line. If you have a MS disability 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.
