Social Security Disability Benefits For Arthritis Or Joint
Understanding Arthritis and Joint-Related Disabilities
Arthritis is a common and debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints, making it difficult for individuals to perform everyday tasks. If you or a loved one is suffering from arthritis or a joint-related disability, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits.
Qualifying for Social Security Disability Benefits
To qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits for arthritis or joint-related conditions, the Social Security Administration (SSA) requires certain criteria to be met. These criteria include:
1. Meeting the Medical Criteria
Medical evidence showcasing your arthritis or joint-related condition and its impact on your ability to work is crucial for a successful disability claim. This evidence should include medical records, imaging scans, test results, and expert opinions from healthcare professionals. A qualified attorney from Troy Powell Law Firm can help gather the necessary medical evidence to strengthen your case.
2. Providing Sufficient Work Credits
Work credits are essentially the measure of your work history and are used by the SSA to determine whether you have contributed enough to the Social Security system to qualify for disability benefits.
