How to Mess Up Your Social Security Disability Case
A Social Security Disability Case has a lot of paper work.
It is easy to do something that ruins your case while filling out the paper work.
You must be very careful.
One of the Social Security forms they have you fill out is called a Activity Report.
If you are not careful it can blow up your case.
The form asks you to explain your limitations and what activities you can perform.
For instance, if you tell Social Security that you can lift 40 pounds this can result in you losing your case.
If you tell them that you spend most of your day drinking beer this can mess up your case.
If you tell Social Security that you spend your days cleaning your house it can be used against you.
If you do not mark the boxes telling them that you have problems lifting, sitting, standing and walking it may be used against you.
The point is that you have to mindful of what you do at all stages of your Social Security case.
Many Administrative Law Judges will go through these forms to check your answers and may use them to deny your benefits.

SSI and Children’s Cases
Yes, I represent people in Children’s SSI cases.
Not many lawyers do these type of cases.
They are difficult cases to win.
Maybe because Judges do not like the cases, or they are used to seeing adult cases that focus on ability to work.
In a child’s case you must prove marked limitations in 2 areas out of 6, or extreme limitations in 1 area out of 6.
The areas cover physical limitations and mental or emotional limitations.
Just being in special education classes is not enough.
You must show that the child is at the extreme end of the spectrum within the special education grouping.
Examples might be extreme classroom problems, serial suspensions, extreme drug abuse, several hospitalizations for mental problems, or severe asthma.
