Fighting for Social Security Disability Benefits in Indiana

As you go through the SSDI appeals process, be mindful that a disability decision must be consistent with your medical evidence. Additionally, the decision makers, who have only your file to review, are unlikely to look beyond medical findings to gauge your true ability to work. Therefore, you would benefit by having an Indiana SSDI lawyer fight for your rights. 

At state agencies, the Social Security Listing of Impairments, which includes cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and mental disorders, is often used in determining a decision. For claimants under age 50, the listing of impairments is often the basis for rejecting Social Security disability benefits.

Younger claimants are unlikely to be found disabled if their impairment does not meet the criteria on the list of impairments. The problem is that the same formula is applied to each impairment, which can be unfair, because medical conditions and illnesses affect individuals differently.

Unlike state agencies, administrative law judges use medical findings to set parameters of possible functioning capacity, which could lead to you obtaining Social Security disability benefits. They are more likely to evaluate your entire case, credibility included.

So don't be discouraged if your application for benefits is initially rejected. With an Indiana SSDI lawyer by your side, you'll have a better chance at obtaining a favorable outcome in the SSDI appeals process.
