Are You Disabled?
The Social Security Administration defines disability as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment(s) which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.
A medically determinable physical or mental impairment is an impairment that results from anatomical, physiological, or psychological abnormalities which can be shown by medically acceptable clinical and laboratory diagnostic techniques. A physical or mental impairment must be established by medical evidence consisting of signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings-not only by the individual’s statement of symptoms.
Proving disability in order to qualify for Social Security benefits can be challenging, especially for the inexperienced. If your application for Social Security Disability benefits has been denied recently, hire a Texas Social Security Disability Lawyer today and find out why so many people who were previously denied Social Security Disability benefits win their cases on appeal.
