Physical Conditions Can Affect Every Part Of Work
Physical disability claims often involve pain, weakness, fatigue, reduced mobility, or limits on sitting, standing, walking, lifting, carrying, using the hands, or staying on task. SSA needs to see more than a diagnosis; it needs evidence of functional limitations.
From Temecula, the Law Office of David M. Shore helps claimants throughout Southern California explain how physical impairments affect daily life and the ability to work.
Examples Of Physical Impairments
We help with claims involving many types of physical conditions, including:
- Back and neck injuries.
- Arthritis and joint disorders.
- Chronic pain and fatigue conditions.
- Neurological conditions.
- Heart, lung, and circulatory disorders.
- Diabetes complications and other chronic illnesses.
- Migraines and conditions with recurring flare-ups.
Medical Evidence Matters
SSA reviews treatment notes, imaging, lab results, specialist records, medication history, and clinical findings. Consistent treatment records can help show the severity of a condition and the limits it creates over time.
Pain And Functional Limitations
Pain can be disabling even when it is difficult to measure. A strong claim explains the effect of pain on work-related activities such as attendance, concentration, pace, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, and the need to rest during the day.
