Social Security Disability Claims
Because the Social Security Disability application and appeals process can be difficult, especially when a claimant may be suffering from multiple medical impairments, it is crucial to hire an attorney that specializes in Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI) claims.

Why Applying for Disability Isn’t Always Easy
San Diego Social Security disability lawyers regularly help applicants apply to receive benefits if they are unable to perform any easy work they have done in the past. This may seem like a simple process, but San Diego Social Security disability attorneys frequently need to guide clients through the often complicated yet necessary procedures.
Breast Cancer and Compassionate Allowances
The Social Security Disability Attorneys at the San Diego Disability Law Group recently represented a 47 year old woman with Breast Cancer. When she first contacted our office her claim for disability benefits had already been denied by the Social Security Administration and the time limit to file a Request For Reconsideration had already passed.
Obesity and SSDI/SSI Benefits
The San Diego Disability Law Group recently had a case involving a young claimant who was 5'6" tall, weighed over 350 pounds and had a BMI over 50. In addition, she had been diagnosed with scoliosis (a sideways curvature of the spine associated with pain but not neurological impairment), lumbar spondylosis & hypo joint mobility.
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
Social Security Disability and Reflect Sympathetic Dystrophy - Is rsd a disability? We presently have a client who has been diagnosed with REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY (RSD) also known as COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME (CRPS). RSD is a unique clinical syndrome that may develop following trauma, severe or minor.
Residual Functional Capacity Case
Under the Social Security Act, a claimant is considered “disabled” if (1) she is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less that twelve months...
SSA and Fibromyalgia
A recent issue of the NOSSCR Social Security Forum had a interesting article on why claimants with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(CFS) oftentimes have a difficult time obtaining social security benefits due to the lack of objective medical findings inherent in these conditions and how a new Social Security Ruling could help overcome this obstacle.
Excuses for Late Disability Appeals
All is not necessarily lost if you don’t get your Social Security Disability appeal filed on time. The Social Security Administration (SSA) regulations recognize several excuses as “good cause” for missing the appeal deadline. An experienced San Diego Social Security attorney can help you establish good cause, or, even better, help you meet the time requirement in the first place.
