In Social Security Disability cases all your conditions and symptoms matter. Sometimes a certain illness dominates your life, but a combination of diseases can push you over the edge so that you can no longer work.
For example, you may have a neck problem that also results in headaches and also experience chronic depression. All of these conditions limit your ability to function on a daily basis. The more limitations you have the better your chance is to argue for severe disability that will keep you from working a full time job.
The key to convincing an Administrative Law Judge is to go for treatment on a consistent basis and to explain your problems to your doctors each time you go.
If you live in Peoria, Bloomington, Springfield, or Champaign and have any questions regarding the conditions you have and how they relate to Social Security Disability please feel free to call Dirk May at 309-827-4371.
