Modesto Physical Disability Attorneys — Listings of Impairments
The Social Security Administration's (SSA) Listing of Impairments describes conditions and injuries that are considered severe enough that they would prevent a person from doing any gainful activity. Most of the impairments that are listed are permanent — or are expected to result in death — and have caused extremely limiting features consistent with the impairment involved. If evidence can be documented and presented to the SSA, to match up with the requirements of any specific listing, you can win preemptively, without even having to consider your past relevant work or whether you can do other jobs.
If the evidence "meets or equals" the requirements of any listing, you win. However, the evidence needed can be very technical, and Milam Law will review the facts of your disability and try to enlist the help of your doctor to properly substantiate the medical evidence needed by testing and reporting your medical records. To win under a listing can also speed up a favorable decision being issued. The criteria in the listing are applicable to the evaluation of claims for disability benefits under both the Social Security disability (SSD) program or payments under the Supplement Security Income (SSI) program. Often, these are very complex medical/legal issues, and it takes an experienced attorney with good perception to often see where and how things fit together in order to pursue, and then present, such evidence and argument. It also often takes instruction from the attorney to the client, so that you can go out and obtain certain medical tests or procedures to help cement the legal argument to the SSA in a winning package.
At Milam Law, we handle everything for our clients, from the initial applications to disability appeals in federal court. We are committed to helping individuals throughout California's Central Valley obtain the disability benefits that they deserve. Our attorneys can answer your questions, and guide you through the process in a manner that is as efficient and effective as possible.
