When
you get injured at work and become disabled for a long period because
of it, you can claim social security disability benefits. However,
you should expect that you aren’t the only one applying for the
same appeal. It’s important to be fully prepared when the time
comes to face the judge.
Medical
Review
In
most cases, the court will need to get your injury examined again for
documentation purposes. The judge might also ask for details about
your accident, the extent of your injury, your recovery process, and
other things about your experience. Make sure you’re mentally and
emotionally prepared to answer these questions.
Functional
Capacity
This
refers to your residual ability to do physical labor, not just as an
occupation but in everyday life in general. If, for instance, both
your legs are incapacitated but still able to fully use your hands,
that represents your functional capacity. These questions will also
determine your possibility for future employment.
Mental
Capacity
Insomnia
and clinical depression are just some of the mental illnesses that
can plague a person afflicted with long-term injuries. Ask your
social security disability attorney about securing proof of any
mental problems you might have incurred. The judge will need medical
proof in case you want to assert this fact.
