Social Security Disability Benefits for Mesothemia

Nancy Cavey — Mon, 23 May 2011 15:47:42 +0000

Mesothemia is a cancer of the mesothemia or the protective membranes that affect your body’s internal organs.

Mesothemia attacks that lining and common symptoms can include:

Right or left sided chest pain.
Shortness of breath.
Weight loss.
Abdominal pain or swelling.

There are a number of different types of mesothemia which can include chest and avenue area.

Mesothemia is a difficult condition to diagnose and we believe that you should immediately consult your physician if you have any of these conditions. If your physician has advised you that you are unable to work as a result of mesothemia, you may be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits under Section 14.14 of the Social Security Administration impairment listing manual.

If your claim for mesothemia has been denied by the Social Security Administration, you should appeal and immediately consult a mesothemia Social Security Disability attorney so that you may receive the benefits that you are entitled too.

What the Social Security Administration Wants to Know About Your Employment History

Nancy Cavey — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 15:41:38 +0000

The Social Security Administration uses the five step sequential evaluation in determining your eligibility for Social Security Disability benefits.
At step four they are going to ask whether you can return to the lightest job you have held in the last 15 years. As part of the Social Security Disability application process, you are going to be asked to identify which was your easiest job for you to do now considering your medical problems. They are going to ask you the following questions:

In an average work day, how many hours were spent sitting standing or walking?
What is the greatest weight that you had to lift or carry on that job?
How many times per day would you lift or carry that much?
What object weighed that much?
What was the average weight that you had to lift or carry on this job?
How many times per day would you lift or carry that much?
What objects weighed this much?

As you can see completing the Social Security Disability application can be time consuming, but it is important that you fill it out correctly. You employed like a Port Richey Plumber ? For a no obligation consultation on your rights to Social Security Disability benefits, contact Sharon Barrett.

Work History and Your Claim for Social Security Disability Benefits

Peter Orzak Wants to Destroy the Safety Net for Millions of Disabled Americans

Nancy Cavey — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:00:45 +0000

In a shocking editorial by Peter Orzak, the former White House director of OMD, Orzak has suggested that people who are disabled simply apply for Social Security Disability or long term disability benefits because they are unable to work. He insinuates that once they receive benefits, they lose all their desire to work and enjoy being disabled.

This is nothing but dribble! One of the solutions that he proposes is the use of private disability insurance companies. Obviously, Orzak has no understanding for the private ERISA disability world where often than not, private and ERISA disability insurance companies will deny benefits to those who are legally entitled to benefits. Trying to shift the blame to private ERISA based long term disability carriers is a bad idea. If you really want to make the long and short term disability process work, get rid of the presumption clauses and policies which presume that any decision by your insurance company is right. If we are going to cut or limit the safety for Social Security Disability and long term disability benefits, let’s give every American the right to a jury trial to determine whether they are entitled to benefits.

If you want to play fair Mr. Orzak, understand the Social Security Disability and long term disability claims process and make sure that there is a fair and level playing field for all Americans who are unable to work as a result of disability.

Long term disability attorney Nancy Cavey has written the book Robbed of Your Peace of Mind which exposes all of the reasons why short and long term disability claims process is manifestly unfair and robs employees, who have paid their disability premiums of their right to peace of mind when they become disabled.

FAQ: What are the proposed IOM recommendations for HIV Social Security Disability claims?

Nancy Cavey — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 15:08:21 +0000

The Institute of Medicine is recommending to the Social Security Administration that Social Security Disability applicants with HIV be awarded benefits if they meet one of the following criteria:

1. A CD4 cell count at or below 50 cells per cubic milliliters of blood serum, a laboratory benchmark that indicates an advanced stage of illness.

2. One of the few rare but fairly severe disabling HIV associated conditions, such as pulmonary Kaposi-Sarcoma, certain lymphomas, dimension, or progressive multi-focal leukoencephalopathy (PML).

3. An HIV associated condition that appears in another section of the SSA’s full Listing of Impairments such as cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and hepatitis.

4. An HIV associated condition that is not already included in other sections such as neuropathy, neurocognitive disorders and wasting syndromes.

If You Do Not Understand Your Rights to Social Security Disability Benefits Because of AIDS, You Will Hate Yourself Later

Nancy Cavey — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 21:30:20 +0000

There is no doubt that the criteria used by the Social Security Administration to evaluate HIV related Social Security Disability claims is outdated. It should be overhauled to include new qualification based on CD4 cell counts and new criteria recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) on September 13, 2010.

The HIV infection listing, which were established in 1993, do not reflect the advances in HIV care for non-age related health complications that impact your ability to work.

If you have been diagnosed with AIDS or suffer non-AIDS related complications and your claim for Social Security Disability benefits has been denied. You should contact HIV Social Security Disability benefits denied attorneys at Cavey and Barrett today 727-894-3188.
