One of the most devastating conditions you can have is a back injury that results in a herniated or collapsed disc. As part of your treatment you might often only have to undergo a back fusion where your discs are fused.

Back fusions can improve your condition and help with back pain but, unfortunately, can possibly make you condition worse.

At Cavey and Barrett, we represent individuals who suffer from chronic back pain or have undergone surgery including back fusions.

If you are unable to work as a result of a herniated disc or your doctor has told you that you need a back fusion, you should immediately apply for disability. However, be prepared to be denied because 70% of all claims are turned down at the initial application stage.

When you get turned down for you back fusion in a Social Security Disability claim you should immediately appeal the disability denial. Many people who are denied Social Security Disability benefits for back fusions at the initial claims level or reconsideration level are later approved at the disability hearing level when they get to present their case to the administrative law judge.

If your claim for Social Security Disability benefits as a result of back fusion has been denied contact Social Security Disability expert, Sharon Barrett who can assist you with winning your Social Security Disability claim.

No. 50 – I’ve had a heart attack. Am I eligible for Social Security Disability benefits?

A heart attack occurs when there’s an interruption in the blood supply to some part of your heart. You may have symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, weakness, angina pressure or complication, nausea, and vomiting.

Cardiac therapy can include oxygen, pain relievers, blood thinners, or even surgery.

Individuals who have heart attacks may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. If your heart condition satisfies the requirements of the conditions listed in the cardiovascular section of the impairment-listing manual, you will be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits. Alternatively, you may qualify for disability benefits if your resulting condition causes you to be unable to engage in the lightest work you have done in the last 15 years or are unable to engage in other forms of work.

Your eligibility for Social Security Disability benefits does not depend upon what your doctor has diagnosed or the number of heart attacks that you have had. The Social Security Administration will evaluate your Residual Functional Capacity for your ability to work.

The Social Security Administration will also determine your functional capacity as it exists three months after the occurrence of the heart attack because they want to see whether or not your ability to work has improved or changed in any fashion. As a result, it may take longer for the Social Security Administration to evaluate your claim for benefits.

If you have any questions regarding your entitlement to Social Security Disability benefits as a result of a heart attack or any delay in your Social Security Disability claim process, contact Cavey & Barrett, the Pinellas and Hillsborough County Social Security Disability attorneys.
