Spinal Stenosis Left You Unable to Work and Struggling Financially?

Get Spinal Stenosis Disability benefits.

Spinal stenosis is a condition that narrows the spinal canal, causing pinching or compression of the spinal cord and nerves. The result is intense pain, numbness and weakness in the back, neck or limbs.

There are two main types of spinal stenosis: cervical stenosis and lumbar stenosis. Cervical stenosis pinches the spinal cord in the neck and causes pain in the neck, shoulders, arms, hands or legs. It can also cause balance and coordination problems and incontinence.

Need Spinal Stenosis Disability Benefits? SSDHelpNow.com

Lumbar stenosis compresses the spinal nerves in the lower back, leading to pain, cramping and weakness in the lower back and legs. The pain usually worsens when walking or standing. Sitting can also be excruciating.

Spinal stenosis is common in people over 50 and can sometimes be attributed to aging. However, it may occur in younger people who are born with a narrowing of the spine or who suffered a spine injury. Regardless of age, spinal stenosis can be debilitating and, in some case, crippling.

If you or a loved one is suffering from spinal stenosis and has been (or is expected to be) out of work for at least a year, you may be eligible for Spinal Stenosis Disability benefits. If approved, you will receive a monthly Disability payment, early Medicare, and quite possibly, accrued back pay. These benefits can make a huge difference when you are unable to work and have medical and household bills piling up.

The attorneys at McDonald Law Firm have successfully represented people disabled by spinal stenosis. We would be pleased to assist you, too. We are standing by, ready to help you file or appeal your Social Security Disability claim.

How does the Social Security Administration decide who qualifies for Spinal Stenosis Disability benefits?

The Social Security Administration recognizes that spinal stenosis can be a debilitating condition and, in severe cases, it will award benefits during the initial application stage. To get approved at the outset, you must suffer from lumbar stenosis and meet the following criteria:

  • You must have a positive imaging test, such as a CT scan or MRI, confirming lumbar spinal stenosis.
  • The spinal compression has caused pseudo claudication (pain and weakness in your lower back, thighs, buttocks, or legs.)
  • You must have continual nonradicular (not radiating from a nerve) pain.
  • You must not be able to walk without a walker, crutches or assistance.

Don’t meet the above criteria? You may still qualify for Spinal Stenosis Disability.

If you do not meet the above criteria, you may still qualify for Spinal Stenosis Disability benefits. If you can show that your condition is so severe that it prohibits you from working any job, you may still be awarded benefits.

Convincing the Social Security Administration that you can’t do any kind of work at all can be technical and involved. The government will want all of your medical history, as well as information about your daily activities and work history.

The Disability team at McDonald Law Firm can handle this process for you. We will gather the necessary information, and build a strong, compelling case on your behalf. We will take care of the paperwork and procedural issues so you can take care of yourself and your family.

Denied Spinal Stenosis Disability? Don’t be discouraged.

Receiving a rejection letter can be disheartening, but don’t let it get you down. More than 65 percent of Disability claims are denied during the initial application level. Approval rates actually go up further into the Disability process.

The next move would be to promptly file an appeal. You only have 60 days to appeal a denied Disability claim after receiving your rejection letter.

If you haven’t already done so, now would be the time to enlist the services of a skilled Disability attorney. An experienced Disability lawyer will be able to determine the reason for your denial and work to overcome it. Our Disability team is skilled at successfully appealing denied decisions.

Yes, you can afford a skilled lawyer.

Rest assured, securing the services of SSDHelpNow.com will not cost you anything up-front. We work on contingency, which means we only get paid if we are successful. Even then, our fees are limited by the federal government and taken by the Social Security Administration directly out of the award.

Our goal is to get you a monthly Disability payment and, quite possibly, a significant amount of accrued back pay. If we don’t win your case and recover monetary benefits for you, you don’t owe us anything.

Don’t wait a second longer. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can get to work on your application or appeal. Call us today at 855-702-9061 to speak to a member of our team or fill out the contact form on this page.
