We presented our client to a Social Security Judge. He was over 55 years old, had multiple back surgeries that left him with degenerative disc disease and depressive disorder. We were able to obtain psychological records from our client’s psychologist. As a result, the Judge was persuaded to award benefits.
After a work injury, our client’s medical care was being denied by the insurance company. The insurance doctor held the opinion that no further medical treatment was needed, while our client’s physician suggested a second surgery. The judge sided with our client and the treating physician.
Our client was in psychotherapy for numerous conditions and her psychiatrist reported severe GI symptoms, severe diarrhea, emotional instability to stress, and irritability. We had to pull together numerous therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, GI doctors, and a neurologist to present a composite picture of our client's true disabilities.
Our client was a laborer at a big box store. 18 years into this employment found her needing medical treatment. Her employer authorized her to get treatment using her personal physician and group insurance. During year 19 at the same company, she got to the point where it was too painful to work. The employer terminated our client.
This client called us after a Judge ruled against him and his lawyer. We told him we would appeal his case but he had to fire his lawyer first. He did so. On the morning of the court case, the insurance lawyer told the Judge they did not have the necessary medical report. The Judge ruled against our client, but we were able to win the appeal and present new evidence at another hearing.
