Get up to date on the Social Security system. Make sure to contact us if you need to file for Social Security Disability. It is a very complicated process. No cost until you win.
It can be difficult to prove that Migraines prevent you from working any job.
The problem is that Social Security cannot easily see the results of migraines.
For instance, if you have had back surgery MRIs will show the condition of your back.
Some brain diagnostic tests will show white matter that may be consistent with migraines, however there is no definitive test for migraines.
It does help to treat with a specialist for migraines, such as a neurologist or pain management specialist.
The specialist should provide a diagnosis of migraines and their severity.
A history of treatment including medications or botox treatment will be helpful.
It is also helpful to keep a simple journal of your migraines.
Mark the days you have them, how severe they are, and how long you are laid up.
The question Social Security will have is why can’t you work a full time job.
If the migraines will cause you to miss more than 2 days a month, then you will be unable to work.
If you will need unscheduled breaks through the work day, then you will be fired.
You must convince Social Security that you miss too many days and be off task too much during the work shift.

Young man is showing people how to deal with adversity. Those who are legally blind may be eligible for Social Security Disability if they are not working full time. I have known judges and attorneys who are blind so people may have a fulfilling career even if blind.
Social Security has a large number of rules, laws, and policies that govern what it means to be disabled.
One of the rules is that it is not enough for a claimant to testify regarding their pain, conditions, and limitations without supporting medical evidence.
In other words, you must have medical records that explain the reasons for your pain, complaints, and limitations.
This includes Xrays, MRIs, EMGs, heart tests, functional capacity exams, so on.
Doctors’ physical exams are also helpful.
SSA will also consider opinions from your doctors regarding the severity of your condition and how it limits you.
Prescriptions for canes, walkers, and disabled parking permits are very important in Social Security Disability cases.
Remember that you must prove that you cannot perform any full time work in most cases.
As you reach age 50 the general rule is that you must prove you are limited to sit down work.
This will allow you to focus on problems that will restrict your standing, walking and lifting.
