Reseda Lawyers
In their long years of experience representing claimants in Social Security Disability hearings, Social Security Reseda Lawyers have concluded there are five factors that are significant in almost every case. These are the factors Social Security Reseda Lawyers consider when applying for disability.
You cannot get disability for a hangnail. Your impairment must seriously affect your ability to work. It must be an impairment. Social Security Reseda Lawyers have always found Social Security Judges to be very sympathetic to a claimant with a serious impairment such as lupus or cancer.
It is best to be 55 years old or older when applying for disability. The system favors the older applicant. On the other hand if you are under 50 years of age you may have to show you cannot do any job that exists in the national economy. It does not take much physical ability to be a greeter at a Walmart store or a security monitor watcher. If you are under age 50 you will have to show you cannot do those types of jobs.
Social Security has a rule that can help most applicants as found out by Social Security Reseda Lawyers. That rule says if your doctor’s opinion is well reasoned and based on many clinical visits by you over a period of time then his/her opinion can be granted "controlling weight" in your case. Thus, if your doctor supports your claim, then you have a great chance to win your case.
In Social Security Reseda Lawyers experience, 100% support by the claimant’s own doctor is crucial to success in a claim for disability. Social Security Reseda Lawyers had a number of cases where the United States District Court has reversed a Social Security Administrative Law Judge precisely because the Social Security Judge did not give enough weight to the opinion of the claimant's own doctor.
