Have You Been Denied Social Security Disability?
It is estimated that 67% percent of Social Security Disabilities are denied the first time. In many cases, these applications are denied because a person did not submit enough information, because the person makes too much money, and failure to follow the treatment protocol established by a doctor.
Regardless of the reason that you were denied, your chances of getting approved will be much better if you have a Louisiana Social Security Disability attorney with The Morrow Law Firm. Our knowledgeable attorneys will help you prepare the documents you need to file for Social Security and appeals as necessary.

What is Social Security Disability?
Many people associate Social Security benefits with growing old. But, in addition to the Social Security retirement benefits available after age 62, those who are unable to work as a result of disability may be entitled to benefits irrespective of age via the Social Security Disability system.
Generally, a person who has worked a good portion of his or her life, paid into the Social Security system, and then becomes unable to work due to injury, illness, or disability is eligible for Social Security Disability benefits.
The SSA also maintains a list of conditions and impairments that automatically qualify an applicant as disabled. These include:
- Amputation, joint dysfunction, select fractures of bones in the arms and legs, soft tissue injury, and other musculoskeletal trauma and conditions
- Vision, hearing, and speech loss
- Respiratory disorders
- Chronic heart failure and other cardiovascular issues
- Disorders affecting the digestive system
- Chronic kidney diseases
- Bleeding and bone marrow disorders
- Chronic skin conditions and infections
- Hormonal imbalance stemming from endocrine system disorders
- Multi-system congenital disorders
- Brain tumors, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, traumatic brain injury, and other neurological disorders or trauma
- Mental illness and intellectual disability
- Certain cancers
- Immune system disorders
However, it is important to remember that every condition is not listed in the SSA Blue Book. For example, diabetes and fibromyalgia are not included in the Blue Book. And, it is also important to remember that you do not need to have a physical medical condition to qualify for Social Security Disability. People who suffer from mental disorders such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder may be eligible.
The only way to know for sure if you or someone you love is eligible for Social Security Disability benefits is to apply. And, in most cases, your initial application is just the beginning.
