Scoliosis and Social Security Income Benefits

    Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that can be disabling in severe cases, making it difficult or impossible for some sufferers of scoliosis to meet the demands of daily life and work responsibilities.

    When the curvature of the spine is especially pronounced, scoliosis can constrict the chest cavity and make it difficult for the lungs to function properly. This can cause breathing difficulties as well as severe back pain and other problems. In many cases, these symptoms grow worse with age.Although the causes of scoliosis are largely unknown, heredity appears to be a significant factor. Other medical conditions such as spinal arthritis, birth defects, or neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy also play a role in some cases of scoliosis.

    Seeking Social Security Disability Benefits For Scoliosis

    If you are unable to work because of scoliosis, you may be eligible to receive either Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.

    When filing a disability claim, you will need to prove to the Social Security Administration (SSA) that you are unable to work. Because the SSA will decide your case solely on the basis of your ability or inability to function, a diagnosis on its own is not enough to prove that you are disabled.

    To support your application, it is essential that you provide documentation of how the disorder affects your ability to function at work and in everyday life. Your medical records are the biggest source of documentation for this purpose.

    Make sure to inform your doctor of the fact that you are unable to work because of your symptoms, and make sure that he or she notes this information on your chart. This will help you to establish a consistent pattern of disability to help prove your claim.

    Because there is also an income component to qualifying for SSI benefits, you will also need to provide documentation of your income and any assets that you own. This includes income information such as wages, pensions and Social Security benefits, as well as assets like bank accounts, real estate, or stocks and bonds.

    My experience with Jeffrey A Rabin has been very good.

    My approval of Social Security disability benefits came much quicker than I had expected. I first met with an associate on April 16, 2020 and we filed my application on May 21, 2020. My application was approved on August 3, 2020, only around a four month process. Even though we were at the beginning of this coronavirus outbreak when we started, it was easy to contact them and complete this process.

    This was an outstanding experience for me from my first appointment to the last.

    This Law Firm was very professional kind and considerate of me and my disability. They knew exactly what it was like for me in the real world and absolutely essential to help me explain that and my disability to the Social Security Administration. I definitely could not have done this without them and they have changed my life for the better forever. In my eyes they are the best social security disability law firm in Chicago and the suburbs.

    I filed for my disability and got denied twice. So I decided that I needed help of a lawyer.

    I began to search and in the process of me searching I always look @ the reviews if I see more bad than good reviews I move on to the next, but not with these guys I didn’t they helped me thru the whole process and assured me if there was a problem or concern I had to reach out and they would help me anyway they could, I dealt with with a few ppl there in the office I must say from the receptionist down to the paralegals they are awesome...

    I wanted to say thank you for everything that you did for me, I greatly appreciate it.

    You believed in me when a lot and social security did not. I was a risk for you to pay for my medical records, not knowing if you would win, if I had not won you would have been out of a lot of money and time. I have known other attorney’s, and have worked with them in the past, but they are nothing like you! You are a very kind generous human being with compassion. I pray that God will bless you practice and make you very successful ...
