If your doctor has told you that you have phlebitis or thrombophlebitis you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. “Thromb” clot and “phlebitis” means a vein with inflammation.

You might have tenderness, pain and swelling of your entire leg. Sometimes, there are no signs or symptoms until the blood clot breaks away and moves to your lungs to form what’s called a pulmonary embolism, which can kill you! If you have any of these symptoms you should immediately go to the emergency room.

Unfortunately, thrombophlebitis and pulmonary embolisms can prevent you from working. You might have problems with swelling of your legs, walking and pain that limits your ability to work.

You should apply for Social Security Disability benefits. And if you are denied, you should immediately appeal the Social Security denial with the assistance of a phlebitis or thrombophlebitis disability attorney.

If you are unable to work, you’ll need the financial assistance that Social Security Disability benefits provides and, ultimately, the medical care you will be eligible for through Medicare.

Well you finally had your at court and the judge has asked you questions. You’ve answered all your attorney’s questions. You’ve heard the testimony of a vocational expert or medical expert. And you are wondering, when am I going to know if I have been granted Social Security Disability benefits?

The administrative law judge normally makes a decision shortly after the hearing so long is that there is no additional evidence that they have requested or that we wish to submit. The administrative law judge takes about six to eight weeks to issue a decision.

Unfortunately, in the Tampa Bay area you can expect to wait 24 months from the time you file your request from the time until you have your actual hearing and then expect to wait yet another two months before you get the decision.

We always ask for a ruling, on the record, reserving our rights for a hearing.
