Qualifying Physical Disability

Salt Lake City, Utah, SSD Attorney

Even when the most severe physical injuries are documented by a qualified physician, Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits are often still denied. At my firm, Randy M. Lish, Attorney at Law, in Provo, Utah, I am dedicated to advocating for my clients who have physical disabilities and cannot work, but have been denied the benefits they deserve.

Proving a Physical Disability

A physical disability is relatively easy to prove, but that does not necessarily make the SSD application process any easier. The Social Security Administration has in place specific procedures and lists that they use to determine eligibility, and proving that your physical disability is on a qualifying list can be complex.

Please know that representing a client who has suffered from a physical disability preventing him or her from working for 12 months or more is different from a workers’ compensation claim. I do refer cases involving work injuries to an experienced workers’ comp attorney I recommend.

Overcoming the Initial Rejection of Your Physical Disability Claim

Keep in mind that Social Security Disability claims are often rejected on the first application. Even the most severely injured can become quickly discouraged. At Randy M. Lish, Attorney at Law, my job is to provide the information and the aggressive representation you need to overcome what can seem like an insurmountable obstacle.

With the help of an experienced physician, I can build a strong argument to establish that your physical disability is a qualifying one, and that your claim for Social Security Disability insurance is valid. From the SSA appeals process to federal court, I will look out for your best interests and strive to secure the benefits you deserve.

Types of Physical Disabilities

Many clients come to me with severe back injuries suffered on the job. Others have suffered from health problems such as fibromyalgia (a chronic condition causing pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons, along with fatigue and multiple tender points) and heart problems caused by or contributed to by their work environment or the type of tasks they performed.
