Physical Disability Attorney in Salt Lake City, Utah

YOU CAN WIN SSD BENEFITS WITH A PHYSICAL DISABILITY 

Physical disability benefits are available to you if you file an application for SSD and SSI benefits. At our law firm we can help you win your SSD benefits. The attorneys at Cannon Disability Law, based in Salt Lake City, understand how difficult it is to have a physical medical condition.

We know you can longer do the things you love due to pain. For example, you may not be able to attend events. Also, you might not be able to enjoy family parties, weddings, or go to church. You may need help cooking, cleaning, or shopping. Pain can prevent you from working and doing your normal activities. Additionally, sometimes pain can be so overwhelming that you spend your day laying in bed or on the couch.

Most of all, your physical condition may keep you from working full time for longer than 12 months. If that is the case, then you need to replace your income. Fortunately, SSA’s program is designed to do just that. You pay for SSDI benefits by paying your taxes. It is not welfare. If you cannot work due to your illness, then you deserve to be paid SSD benefits. However, the burden to prove you should be paid benefits is on you.

SOCIAL SECURITY’S LIST OF PHYSICAL CONDITIONS

We can explain how you can get the SSD benefits that belong to you. With SSDI benefits, you can replace your income until you retire. Most jobs require the ability to sit or stand for up to six hours out of an eight hour day.  And all jobs require the stamina to sustain a forty hour work week. If you cannot complete a forty hour work week due to your medical condition, then you should file for SSDI and SSI benefits.

If you do not see your physical condition listed below, then don’t think you can’t apply for benefits. You can. You may have a rare illness that keeps you from working. Not all physical problems are on SSA’s list. For example, there is another SSA list, the Compassionate Allowance list.

Sometimes, physical illness makes it impossible to sustain work on a full time basis.  Similarly, you may have tried to work for short periods of time. Perhaps you were fired or let go for poor job performance. Likewise, you may have been fired due to pain keeping you from doing job tasks. You should still file for benefits.

PHYSICAL DISABILITY CAN PREVENT YOU FROM WORKINGBACK PAIN disability lawyer

One of the main problems with physical medical conditions is pain. For instance, pain impacts your ability to concentrate, follow instructions, and complete tasks. On the job, if you are in pain, you may need to take too many breaks during the work day. Likewise, you may need to go home early. Similarly, pain can cause you to make mistakes that you wouldn’t ordinarily make.

Too many breaks, mistakes on the job, and missing work can get you fired. Employers can only put up with an absent employee for so long. If you are not able to work due to pain, then chances are you have a severe physical condition. These problems are evidence of being unable to work due to your physical illness. Therefore, you may be able to get  SSD benefits. However, in order to figure out if can win benefits you first need to apply.

MEDICAL EVIDENCE PROVES PHYSICAL DISABILITY

The SSA will require you to prove that you have a severe physical condition. Therefore, you will need to obtain medical evidence from a doctor to prove your physical problems. Our lawyers can help you prove your illness to the SSA. We will also develop the legal theory in your case. Learn about the importance of medical records in your disability case.

Please call our office. We can often tell you over the phone if you have a valid claim for benefits. When you call, you will speak to an intake expert. Our intake staff is trained to ask you specific questions about your case.

For example, they will ask you about your physical and mental condition and how it stops you from working. Also, they will ask you the names of your doctors. Additionally, they will need to know about your past jobs for the last 15 years.  It is helpful if you have a list of your doctors, with their names and address. You can provide that to us. Also, we need a list of your medications. This is the basic information you need in order to apply for benefits online at Social Security’s website.

PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT QUALIFY FOR SSD BENEFITS

The SSA has specific rules that must be met in order to win SSD benefits. For example, below you will find some some examples of physical conditions that may qualify you for Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income benefits:
