Chronic Pain Explained By A Lawrence Social Security Disability Attorney

By English Blogs

Chronic Pain Explained By A Lawrence Social Security Disability Attorney

Lawrence Social Security Disability Attorney One common reason many Social Security disability claimants say they are unable to work is chronic pain. However, a Lawrence Social Security disability attorney will tell you that chronic pain is not really an impairment as much as it is a symptom of an underlying impairment, which means it is not sufficient to win a disability case.

The other unfortunate reality of chronic pain is that it usually cannot be measured by medical tests or instruments; the only thing that doctors have as a resource is the patient’s description of the pain. For this reason, an experienced disability attorney will tell you that your claims need to be credible in order for the Social Security Administration to believe them.

Questions to Ask About Your Situation

There are two questions relevant to disability when it comes to chronic pain:

1) Can you and your Lawrence Social Security disability attorney provide objective evidence for a “medically determinable impairment” that could be reasonably expected to cause your pain?
2) How severely does your pain prevent you from engaging in even basic work activities?

It is very important that your statements about your pain levels are consistent with the medical evidence and reports you provide. Your own statements about your pain are simply not sufficient to prove that you are sufficiently impaired. You and your attorney must provide objective medical evidence, such as laboratory findings or clinical techniques, that you have a physical or psychological impairment that is likely to be causing your pain.

Questions After Being Approved for Benefits

By English Blogs

Lowell Social Security disability attorneysAfter you receive notice that you have been approved for Social Security disability benefits, you may have several questions for your Lowell Social Security disability attorneys. Here are a few common questions that our Lowell Social Security disability attorneys field.

Do I have to do anything in particular to get my benefits started?

Lowell Social Security Disability attorneys can explain that you do not have to visit a Social Security office or complete any type of forms after being approved for benefits. Instead, the Social Security Administration will begin processing your benefits automatically.

How do I get benefits for my children?

If your children can receive benefits due to your approval, you will need to submit an application after your date of entitlement. This will not affect the processing of your own benefits.

How long does it take for me to start receiving my benefits?

A Lowell Social Security disability lawyer can explain that it usually takes a month or two for you to receive your back benefits and your monthly benefits. If SSI is involved in the case, it will likely take much longer. Some recipients may receive their benefits three months after they were approved while others may receive benefits sooner. If it takes longer than 90 days for benefits to be processed, you may need to contact the Social Security Administration to see if there is a problem. Your Lowell Social Security disability lawyer may contact the payment center on your behalf if you do not have benefits within 90 days.

How to Prepare an Educational and Employment History for a Social Security Disability Case

By English Blogs, Social Security Disability Library

Lowell social security disability attorneyHow to Prepare an Educational and Employment History for a Social Security Disability Case

A Lowell social security disability attorney may advise a claimant to prepare an educational history for the judge in a social security disability case. A claimant’s educational history should include any on-the-job training, formal vocational training, military training and highest level completed in school.

Employment History

In addition, a Lowell social security disability attorney may help a claimant to prepare an employment history. A claimant’s work history is of particular importance because it can help the judge to determine the level of the claimant’s disability.

The employment history should include a 15-year work history listing all jobs held by the claimant during that time. For each significant job, the claimant should provide a description of the duties performed, including time spent standing, sitting or walking. It is important to note whether any jobs required lifting and how much weight the claimant was required to lift. The judge may be especially interested in the reasons a claimant left each job, particularly the last job, and whether the claimant’s health caused any difficulties with job performance.

According to a Lowell social security disability lawyer, the judge will also want information regarding the claimant’s employment skills. If the claimant has performed semi-skilled or skilled work, the judge will want a detailed description of the claimant’s skills. It is important to distinguish between a social security disability hearing and a job interview. The judge will want accurate information to make an informed decision instead of the kind of embellishment a person may add to a resume.

One way to estimate the amount of skill required to perform a particular kind of work is to determine how long it takes to train a person for that position. In addition to a job description for each position held in the past 15 years, it is a good idea to include an estimate for how long a person would need to be trained to perform each job.

A lawyer may answer questions and help a claimant prepare an educational and employment history for a social security disability case. Gerard A. Palma is a Lowell social security disability attorney and can be reached at 888-295-4955.
