Are you struggling with a heart condition that is preventing you from working? You may be entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Indiana Social Security disability attorney Scott D. Lewis has represented numerous individuals with heart conditions and has helped them receive their Social Security disability benefits.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) does recognize cardiovascular impairments as a disabling condition. In Social Security's Listing of Impairments, cardiomyopathy is referred to in Listing 4.00 Cardiovascular Impairments. Many times, individuals do not suffer from cardiovascular impairments at the listing levels to receive Social Security disability benefits. Another way to win your claim may be the fact that the symptoms you experience due to your heart issues simply prevent you from working.
While individuals suffering from cardiovascular impairments symptoms may differ some common symptoms may include, but are not limited to:
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Dizziness
- Fainting
