When you apply for Social Security Disability benefits, you will notice that information regarding your medical treatment and disability is one of the major topics asked about throughout the application. This is because medical proof is at the core of your success in applying for Social Security benefits.
Getting approved for Social Security Disability is never easy, as the application process can be quite long and arduous. Part of the reason the application process has become this way is due to efforts by the Social Security Administration to combat fraudulent claims put forth by applicants. Such fraudulent claims can place a massive drain on the Social Security Administration. Rather than create a scenario where it is easy for a dubious disability claim to succeed, the SSA has taken steps to filter out improper Social Security claims.
Applying for Social Security Disability benefits is often a frustrating and time-consuming process. The overwhelming majority of applicants are denied benefits at the initial stage of application, and in most cases it takes months, or even years, before a claimant is finally awarded the disability benefits that they rightfully deserve.
Arthritis affects more than 53 million Americans, according to the Arthritis Foundation, and the term “arthritis” describes more than 100 forms of painful and inflammatory joint diseases, including Osteo, Rheumatoid, Psoriatic, Infectious, and other types of arthritis.
While arthritis is most prominent in older adults, it affects people of all ages, and according to the Arthritis Foundation, is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. Great strides have been made in recent decades for treating arthritis.
Sarcoidosis, also known as sarcoid or Besnier-Boeck disease, is an immune disorder that can strike any organ in the body. When in the active phase, Sarcoidosis causes granulomas to form. Granulomas are microscopic clumps of immune cells, sometimes described as resembling tiny lumps of sugar, that are used by a properly functioning immune system to wall off harmful objects that it cannot destroy. In Sarcoidosis, these granulomas get so large that they start interfering with the functions of the organ in which they are located.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), which is also called intracranial injury, usually occurs when the brain is traumatically injured by an external force. It can be classified on the basis of its mechanism, severity or location. Often, the general term “head injury,” which refers to a broader class of injury that can involve impairment in structures like the skull and scalp, is used synonymously with traumatic brain injury.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimate some 3.4 million Americans are affected by chronic anemia, though the condition can occur for a wide variety of reasons. Chronic anemia typically occurs because of another chronic health condition, like thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, or kidney disease.
Building on the positive momentum generated by SSA commissioner Michael Astrue's September announcement of the first decrease in pending Social Security Disability hearings in over a decade, the Federal government now seems to be making a big push towards a new method of increasing efficiency in healthcare: the implementation of electronic record keeping.
