Disorders of the Spine
The Social Security Administration includes several spinal disorders on its official list of impairments, including:
- Degenerative disk disease
- Vertebral fractures
- Spinal stenosis
- Osteoarthritis
These and other conditions can qualify you for Social Security Disability benefits if they cause pain and loss of motor function such that you cannot work for one year or more. In addition, any injury that interferes with locomotion or the use of your fingers, hands or arms can qualify you for benefits.
Filing an SSD Claim After a Spinal Injury
It is important to document your condition and apply for SSD benefits as soon as possible after an injury or spinal condition occurs. While the condition must prevent you from working for 12 months or more to qualify, you do not have to wait 12 months to apply for benefits. The application process is slow, so the sooner we prepare your claim, the sooner you can get the benefits you need.
If you have suffered a spinal injury or been diagnosed with a spinal condition that prevents you from working, you need a skilled attorney on your side. Call 216-592-8741, toll free at 866-409-6215 | 800-571-0581, or contact us online to schedule your free case evaluation.
