Roseville Social Security Disability Attorney

Many people are surprised to learn how difficult it is to get their initial disability claim approved. We handle every part of your claim, from gathering records and reports to assisting with the official documents and forms necessary to prove your disability to the Social Security Administration (SSA). We will work to prove your disability and efficiently move your claim through the system.

There are strict requirements for SSDI benefits. To receive these benefits, you must have a qualifying condition. However, you must also have work experience. Your work experience is called work credit. These work credits are based on your age. Your California disability attorney can help you determine how many work credits you have earned.

Typically, chronic medical conditions that are unlikely to completely heal over time will qualify an individual to receive SSDI benefits. Some qualifying conditions include:

• Sensory impairment, such as blindness, deafness, or severely diminished sensory perception.
• Speech impairment, including language processing disorders.
• Musculoskeletal conditions, such as dysfunctions of the bones and joints or chronic back problems.
• Asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions.
• Gastrointestinal disorders such as liver disease or conditions affecting the digestive tract.
• Cardiovascular disorders including chronic heart failure.
• Neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis.
• Blood disorders such as hemophilia or sickle cell anemia.
• Mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder

You will need to provide documentation from your medical care team(s) that proves the full extent of your qualifying disability. A California disability attorney can help you secure the necessary documentation, including medical records and reports from your treating doctors regarding the extent of your disability.

It is also important to remember that if you have a medical condition or disability that does not appear in the SSA’s guidelines for SSDI eligibility, you may still qualify for SSDI. This typically requires clinical reports and/or laboratory testing that confirms your medical condition has caused a medically provable impairment or disability. You must typically have clinical reports that document your symptoms, restrictions, or limitations to secure SSDI benefits for a condition that does not appear on the SSA’s list of qualifying conditions.

Ultimately, every situation is unique, and your medical condition or disability may be harder to prove than you initially expect. Hiring an experienced and seasoned California disability lawyer is one of the best ways to streamline your application process, as your legal team will know what documentation and evidence you will need to provide with your SSDI benefits application and at each subsequent stage of the process.
