Your Indiana Social Security Disability Claim and Arthritis

February 20, 2012

Arthritis can not only be painful, but it may be keeping you from working and supporting yourself and your family.  Indianapolis Social Security disability attorney Scott Lewis represents individuals suffering from arthritis that is preventing them from performing work like activities.  If you have been denied your Social Security disability benefits because of arthritis, or any other disabling condition, it may be time to file an appeal and get the benefits you may be entitled to.

Indiana disability lawyer Scott Lewis understands what his Indiana neighbors are going through when arthritis prevents them from working.  Some, but not all, of the symptoms his clients often complain about are:

  • Joint pain and swelling
  • Stiffness
  • Reduced mobility of the joint(s)

handicapo spot.jpgThe Social Security Administration (SSA) does recognize disability due to arthritis.  In Social Security's "Listing of Impairments" Listing 14.09 Inflammatory Arthritis attempts to clearly define when the SSA will consider arthritis disabling.  If you do not meet or equal this listing there are other ways you can still win your Social Security disability claim.  If your physical residual functional capacity is reduced to a level where you cannot work a full time job you may be considered disabled and receive Social Security disability benefits.
