How did the Social Security Lawyers of Berry & Associates help the claimant win disability benefits?
Berry & Associates has significant experience with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy cases. We know that the manifestations of this disease can preclude any type of work. From the beginning, we counseled our client to make sure his doctors were documenting the nerve disorder with widespread body pain. Through testimony the claimant explained that he has constant and severe pain in his chest, arms and hands, neck and legs. He spends most of his day alternating between standing, sitting and reclining in order to minimize his nerve pain. Furthermore, his extensive daily narcotic pain medication regimen causes drowsiness to the point of marked distraction.
