KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY AND SSD BENEFITS

Knee replacement surgery is one of the most successful joint operations. However, 20% or people who have surgery end up with chronic pain. If you have chronic pain, then you may not be able to work and should apply for disability benefits. If knee surgery left you using canes or a walker to ambulate, then apply for SSDI benefits today. Call Cannon Disability Law for a free review of your knee replacement disability claim.

OBESITY & DISABILITY SOCIAL SECURITY RULING 19-2P

Obesity is a medical condition that can prevent you from working. If you are off work for more than 12 months, then you can apply for SSD benefits. However, the SSA eliminated the listing for obesity, which means you cannot meet a listing for obesity. Instead, obesity needs to combine with another medical impairment to prevent you from working. If you can prove that your symptoms of obesity and another medical condition disable you, then you can win SSD and SSI benefits. Hire an experience law firm, like Cannon Disability Law, to help you win your Social Security benefits.

When the SSA took obesity out of the listing, they thought the change would produce financial savings.
