Beaverton Crohn's Disease SSDI Benefits Attorneys
Crohn's disease is a debilitating condition that impacts the intestines, bowels and other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Crohn's disease occurs when the immune system attacks the gastrointestinal tract. People with Crohn's disease can endure severe abdominal pain, weakness, diarrhea and a lack of appetite, among other symptoms. Although there are treatments for Crohn's disease, the effectiveness of these treatments can vary significantly. In the most severe cases, Crohn's disease may make it impossible for a person to work. Under the Social Security Administration's Listing of Impairments, Crohn's Disease can fall under 5.06 for irritable bowel syndrome.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is available for people with an injury or medical condition that will prevent them from working for 12 months or longer. In order to receive these benefits, applicants must prove to the Social Security Administration's (SSA) satisfaction that they cannot work. If you or a loved one has Crohn's disease and you want to apply for SSDI benefits, or if your claim has already been denied, it can be helpful to work with an experienced lawyer. The Beaverton law firm of Helzer Cromar & Schneider has an established track record of helping people in need.
In most instances, it is not sufficient to show that you can no longer work in your chosen profession. Rather, you will have to prove that you cannot engage in any gainful activities. Different, and more favorable, standards apply to people who are 55 or older. Depending on how Crohn's disease has impacted your life, this can be a difficult hurdle to clear. Our law firm will compile all of your medical history and show exactly how Crohn's disease is impacting your life. We have the experience and legal knowledge necessary to present the best possible case.
