Every year, millions of people are affected by conditions like hip fractures that can lead to considerable physical pain and mental agony. The hip is one of the largest joints in the body and therefore a fracture in the joint can make it difficult to perform everyday tasks like sitting or walking.
Winning Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits through the Social Security Administration (SSA) can offer some relief if you or a loved one has suffered a hip fracture. However, winning SSDI or SSI benefits through the SSA is not a simple and straightforward task. The complicated federal regulations and application process set by the SSA make winning disability benefits overly difficult. Less than one-third of all applications for SSDI and SSI benefits made to the SSA get approved.
A Hip Fracture SSDI or SSI Benefits Lawyer at The Keener Law Firm can help prepare the application and the supporting documents that you need to meet the eligibility criteria for winning disability benefits. Moreover, if you had applied for benefits but were denied by the SSA, we can help challenge the adverse determination at the appeals level and get it overturned.
To win Hip Fracture SSDI benefits, you must prove the following two conditions:
To prove that you meet the SSA definition and standard of disability, you can prove either of the following:
The Listing of Impairments contains a list of physical and mental health impairment(s) that qualify the disability set by the SSA. Each listed impairment criteria for Hip Fracture Disability must be satisfied to qualify for disability benefits you need and deserve.
In the alternative, you can prove that you qualify for Hip Fracture disability benefits through an assessment of the RFC. A Hip Fracture Disability Benefits Lawyer at our office can help you draft a proper application and the supporting documentation proving that your physical or mental impairment(s) prevent you from working.
Being one of the most important joints of the body, a fracture in the hip can cause a lot of physical pain and discomfort. However, SSI or SSDI benefits administered by the SSA may offer some much-needed relief. Contact The Keener Law Firm today for a free consultation and case review.
