Social Security Ruling on Fibromyalgia

Posted by Nancy Cavey
in Social Security Disability (SSD)

Those diagnosed with fibromyalgia had a difficult battle proving that they are entitled to Social Security Disability benefits because of the lack of objective medical findings. Over the years the Social Security Administration’s position has evolved and in 1999, SSA issued Social Security ruling (SSR (99-2p)) that provided that claimants with fibromyalgia could be evaluated under the criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome. Despite this directive, ALJ has continued to deny claims based on fibromyalgia finding that Social Security Disability applicants were not credible when there was no medical diagnoses or that the claimants occasional daily activities conflicted with their allegations...

Can My Social Security Disability Claim be Denied Because I Earn Too Much Money?

Posted by Nancy Cavey
in Social Security Disability (SSD)

Yes! The Social Security Administration uses a 5 Step sequential evaluation to determine your entitlement to benefits. Significant Gainful Activity At Step 1, the Social Security Administration determines whether or not you are working and, if so, whether or not that work constitutes “substantial gainful activity” (SGA). In 2013, if you earned more than $1,040 per month, you have earned too much money to be considered disabled. Income from investments does not count towards SGA. This figure is adjusted annually. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) If you are not insured for disability purposes, you can apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) which is a disability...

social security disability articles

Have you read articles that attack Social Security Disability as being the “new welfare” or suggest that United States has a “disability insurance complex”? Nothing could be further from the truth. To be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits, you must have worked 20 out of the last 40 quarters, contributing the Social Security Disability Insurance program. A portion of your paycheck has gone into this program to provide benefits to workers who are unable to perform substantial work because of a serious medical condition. While there has been a rise in Federal Social Security Disability rules, there are a number of...

Posted by Nancy Cavey

chronic fatigue syndrome listing

To determine whether or not you are disabled, the Social Security Administration uses a five step sequential evaluation process. To determine whether you are disabled at step three, the Social Security Administration usually considers whether your impairment is severe enough to meet or equal a listing. The Social Security Administration has developed the listing of impairments for most common impairments but, unfortunately, the Social Security Administration has no listing for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. As a result, it cannot be found in the list of conditions at step three of the five step sequential evaluation. However, that doesn’t mean you won’t get...

social security disability on set date

When you apply for Social Security Disability benefits, one of the most important dates is what is called the on set date. Generally, the correct on set date is based on medical facts. That means if you were involved in an accident, the date of the accident might be the date of the on set if you were disabled and unable to work as of that date. On the other hand, the on set date might be the date that your doctor told you that you were unable to work. Sometimes, the Administrative Law Judge will offer a “deal” at a Social...
