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 his symptoms with his physician. As a result, we were able to obtain a written opinion form from his physician as to what our client's capabilities were. We then argued that these capabilities and limitations made his past work and other work, impossible. Through questioning, the claimant described how he spends most of his day lying in a recliner, due to his back, pelvic and leg pain. Furthermore, he stated that he requires the use of a walker in order to ambulate effectively. Lastly, he relies on an internal pain pump to administer his narcotic medication regimen.
