Southern California SSDI and SSI Claim Lawyers
If you are unable to work due to a physical impairment, obtaining benefits from Social Security Disability or 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 lawyers offer a free initial consultation to evaluate your physical impairment claim. For your convenience, we have offices in Downey, Santa Ana and Ontario in Southern California.
Our 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
An impairment by itself may not prevent you from working, but it may be disabling when combined with other impairments. One example would be a severe arthritis combined with depression.
