In this video Marc Whitehead, a Board Certified Social Security Disability Attorney, explains how Social Security rulings could help someones disability claim.
As a Social Security Disability Attorney, Marc Whitehead is always receiving questions regarding whether or not their problem is considered a recognized disability. This is a common fear because most people suffer from problems that aren’t on the most recent list of Social Security Disability listings. This alone doesn’t mean that someone doesn’t qualify for disability benefits.
One place everyone should check is the Social Security Rulings- SSR. This is located on the SSR part of the Social Security Disability webpage, www.ssa.gov
Often times the SSA will post rulings describing disabilities that aren’t yet included at listing level disability included in the disability program.
Some of the most important listings include:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
HIV
Obesity
Post Polio Syndrome
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Asbestos Related Impairments
To Marc Whitehead, as a Social Security Disability Attorney, finds the Social Security Rulings to be incredibly helpful, because when he has clients suffering from impairments he is able to use the rulings as guidelines to establish disability. It tells attorneys what evidence they need to provide in order to be awarded the benefits their clients deserve.
The biggest advantage of using a Social Security Disability Attorney is that they strive to stay up to date on all recent SSR listings to give you the best chance at success.
