SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY AND ANEMIA

Soical Security Disability Attorney in Philadelphia

Do you suffer from chronic anemia and feel you are entitled to social security disability benefits?  Anemia occurs when an individual has a low red blood cell count or a lack of the proper amount of hemoglobin in one's blood. 

Hemoglobin is vital in delivering oxygen to one's organs.  Common symptoms associated with anemia are weakness, fatigue, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating.  Your red blood cell count or Hematocrit (HCT) refers to the proportion of red blood cells in your total blood volume.  Typically, normal HCT counts are forty-eight percent in men and thirty eight percent in women.  If your HCT account is persistently below thirty percent, and you need one or more blood transfusions every couple of month, you meet Social Security Administration's medical listing for anemia.

Because the levels of severity of anemia vary, your eligibility for disability will depend on your symptoms and their impact on your ability to work.

Social Security Administration (SSA) refers to their medical listings guideline to determine if you are eligible for Social Security Disability benefits.  They have an estimated 100 various medical listings which list criteria that must be fulfilled by the claimant in order to be eligible for social security disability benefits.

If you do not meet a medical listing, there are other ways to demonstrate your eligibility for social security disability benefits.  The Bernstein Law Offices has the experience and proven track record to give you the confidence that you are in good hands throughout this onerous process.
