California SSD - Physical Impairment Claim Lawyer

Southern California SSDI and SSI Claim Lawyers

If you are unable to work due to a physical impairment (disability), obtaining benefits from Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) requires more than medical documentation of your injury or condition. You must also show that the impairment has prevented (or is expected to prevent) you from working for 12 continuous months. If you apply too soon, the Social Security Administration will optimistically predict that you will recover within the 12-month period — and deny your disability claim.

At the Law Offices of Judith S. Leland, our Social Security Disability lawyers offer a free initial consultation to evaluate your physical impairment claim. For your convenience, we have offices in Downey, Orange and Ontario in Southern California.

Successfully Handling SSDI/SSI Claims for a Variety of Disabilities

Our SSDI/SSI lawyers have successfully handled physical impairment claims for:

  • Repetitive stress injury (RSI)
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome due to repetitive use of hands
  • Arthritis and osteoarthritis
  • Shoulder injuries
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Chronic impairments such as cancer, heart problems, diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease
  • Knee and hip replacements
  • Joint dysfunction

A physical impairment by itself may not prevent you from working, but it may be disabling when combined with other impairments. One example would be severe arthritis combined with depression. The Social Security Administration must see you as a whole person when deciding your case. Therefore, it is important to tell your disability attorney about all of your impairments.
