Ohio Intestinal Disability Attorneys
To qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, you must have a medical condition severe enough to prevent you from working for 12 months or longer. In the case of impairments to the digestive system, the conditions that qualify are often chronic or potentially fatal. Many digestive disorders are treated through medication or surgery. The Social Security Administration may require you to attempt several types of treatment before they will approve your application. At Seaman Garson LLC, our Cleveland intestinal disorders lawyers can help you navigate the SSD system. If you suffer from a stomach, intestine or colon disorder, call 216-592-8741, toll free at 866-409-6215 | 800-571-0581, or contact us online to schedule a free initial consultation.
Listing of Digestive System Disorders
The SSA has several digestive system disorders on its listing of impairments, including:
- Chronic liver disease
- Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and other inflammatory bowel diseases
- Short bowel syndrome
- Gastrointestinal hemorrhaging
- Weight loss caused by any digestive disorder
- Chronic viral hepatitis
Other stomach, intestine and colon disorders can also qualify you for Social Security Disability benefits if you can demonstrate that they are as serious as a condition included on the listing of impairments. Our skilled attorneys know what information you need to provide to get SSD benefits. We can help you gather the medical evidence to support your application for benefits.
Act Quickly to Get the Benefits You Need
The SSD process is often slow. If your condition prevents you from working, you should speak to a lawyer as soon as possible about filing for benefits. Any condition that will eventually cause you to be unable to work for a 12-month period, or which will be fatal, is sufficient to obtain benefits. You do not have to wait 12 months to file your claim.
