We help you win Disability benefits.

Has osteoarthritis left you immobile and unable to work?

You may qualify for Disability for Arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is commonly referred to as “wear and tear” arthritis. This musculoskeletal disease occurs when the cartilage or cushion between joints breaks down, causing bones to rub together. The affected joints are usually “load-bearing” joints in the spine, hips, knees, ankles, hands and fingers.

Arthritis can be extremely painful and, in some cases, it can force people to stop working. If you are suffering from osteoarthritis and have been (or are expected to be) out of work for at least a year, you could be eligible for a monthly cash payment from the Social Security Administration.

The compassionate staff at SSDHelpNow.com has helped thousands of people obtain Social Security Disability benefits, giving them a much-needed financial boost during a difficult time. We are ready to start working for you.

Qualifying for Disability for Arthritis: Medical evidence is key.

The Social Security Administration recognizes that severe arthritis can be disabling – but it is also extremely common. Certain criteria must be met to qualify for Disability for Arthritis. You could be approved if your osteoarthritis can be blamed for one of the following:

  • Joint Dysfunction: You could qualify for Disability for Arthritis if you have an obvious deformity in a joint and a history of pain, stiffness and loss of motion. The joint dysfunction must exist in the hip, knee or ankle, making it hard to walk; or the joint dysfunction must exist in the shoulder, elbow or hand, making it difficult to do routine activities such as writing, typing and lifting.
  • Surgery of a Weight-Bearing Joint: If you have undergone reconstructive surgery of a major weight-bearing joint, such as a hip or knee, and can no longer walk independently, you could be approved for Disability for Arthritis.
  • Disorder of the Spine: If you suffer from arthritis of the spine and it is exacerbated by nerve root compression, spinal arachnoiditis, or lumbar spinal stenosis, you could be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits.

If you don’t meet any of these criteria, you could still be approved for Disability for Arthritis if you can show through solid medical evidence that your osteoarthritis prohibits you from working any job.

As you can see, qualifying for Disability for Arthritis can be complex. The Social Security Administration will want extensive information about your medical and work history, as well as your daily activities. Gathering all of this information and filling out dozens of pages of paperwork can be a daunting task, especially for someone suffering from severe arthritis. That is why so many people turn to SSDHelpNow.com. We’ll take care of everything and make a strong, convincing case to get you the benefits you’ve earned.

Denied Disability for Arthritis? It’s not over.

Don’t give up if you have been denied Disability for Arthritis. The next step is to quickly file an appeal. Individuals who appeal denied Disability claims actually have a better chance of winning. Again, it’s best to have professional legal help. The Disability attorneys at McDonald Law Firm regularly convince the government to reverse an unfavorable decision and award clients the Disability benefits they’ve earned and deserve. Don’t procrastinate! You only have 60 days to file an appeal after receiving your denial notice.

No up-front or out-of-pocket attorney’s fees.

Our fees are set by the federal government and are contingent upon us winning you Disability benefits. This means we don’t get paid unless we are successful. Even then our fee, which is capped by the federal government, is taken directly out of the back pay award. Let’s get to work. Call us today at 855-702-9061.
