Depression, Manic Depression and Bipolar, Part 3
We previously discussed two criteria for winning your Houston Texas Social Security Disability benefits if you suffer from depression, manic syndrome, or bipolar syndrome. If you do not meet the criteria described in those posts, there is a third strategy for winning your appeal.
If you do not meet the previous criteria, then in order to win Houston Social Security Disability benefits your Houston Social Security Disability Lawyer must be able to demonstrate to the hearing officer that you have a medically documented history of a chronic affective disorder of at least 2 years’ duration that has caused more than a minimal limitation of ability to do basic work activities, with symptoms or signs currently attenuated by medication or psychosocial support, and one of the following:
1. Repeated episodes of decompensation, each of extended duration; or
2. A residual disease process that has resulted in such marginal adjustment that even a minimal increase in mental demands or change in the environment would be predicted to cause the individual to decompensate; or
3. Current history of 1 or more years’ inability to function outside a highly supportive living arrangement, with an indication of continued need for such an arrangement.
If you have been denied Houston Social Security Disability Benefits in the last 60 days, then speak with a Houston Social Security Disability Attorney today to see if you can win your case on appeal. And remember, there is no legal fee unless you win.
