Cerebral Palsy and Receiving Social Security Disability

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Cerebral palsy is a general term that refers to a group of disorders that begin during the early stages of life. Cerebral palsy affects the ability of your child with disability to coordinate body movements.

These disorders are caused by damage to the brain of your child with disability early in the course of development. This damage can take place during fetal development, the birth process or the first few months after the birth of your child with disability. Cerebral palsy can range anywhere from mild to severe.

There are three main types of cerebral palsy:

  • Spastic cerebral palsy is what most children have. This type of cerebral palsy causes muscles to stiffen making movement difficult.
  • Athetotic cerebral palsy is what about one in five people with cerebral palsy have.  It is also called extrapyramidal cerebral palsy. It affects all of the body and usually causes slow, uncontrolled movement.
  • Ataxic cerebral palsy is the rarest kind of cerebral palsy. It affects coordination and balance.

There can be a wide range of ways that cerebral palsy may affect your child with disability. These signs and symptoms do not get worse with age. Some of these effects are:

  • Variations in muscle tone from too stiff to too floppy
  • Tremors
  • Stiff muscles and exaggerated reflexes (spasticity)
  • Lack of muscle coordination when performing voluntary movements
  • Asymmetrical walking gait, with one leg or foot dragging
  • Excessive drooling or difficulties sucking, swallowing or speaking
  • Difficulty with precise motions like buttoning a shirt or writing.

Some children with cerebral palsy are extremely mentally retarded, while others are exceptionally intelligent. Some need a wheelchair and lifelong care, but others need little or no help.

Your child with disability may be one of those who needs lifelong care. Your child with disability may be disabled because of cerebral palsy.

If this is true, you may need help for your child with disability. You may need financial assistance.

Have you thought about applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits for your child with disability from the Social Security Administration because of the disability that is caused by cerebral palsy? Have you already done this, and your child with disability was denied?

You may be wondering what to do next? Do you have any recourse? What options are open to you?

One option that you have is to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration on behalf of your child with disability with cerebral palsy. If you do this, here is something that you need to know.

Your child with disability is going to need a confident disability lawyer like the one you will find at Social Security Home to represent them in this process. This is true because people who have a caring disability attorney are approved more often than those people who do not have a lawyer.

‘Grim Sleeper’ suspect a long-term disability recipient

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

[Editor's note: This is the second of three installments examining the need for legal counsel and improved legislation for those needing help with disabilities–and against those who game the system. Part One is here.]

Two cases in recent news are intriguing, the first concerning a suspected serial killer who has been drawing disability checks from the city of Los Angeles. The second centers on the Social Security Administration (SSA), which administers the nation’s retirement, SSDI and SSI payments and, according to the Government Accountability Office, may have handed out nearly $2 billion in unwarranted payments from 2004 to 2008.

Such different cases, yet such chillingly similar questions.

Authorities say conviction wouldn’t stop payments

Breaking the news about Lonnie Franklin Jr. on Aug 19, the LA Weekly reported that even if he is eventually found guilty and sentenced, it is possible that Franklin–or his family–will continue to receive benefits until he dies.  The Weekly calculates that he has received about $300,000 to date. “If Franklin lives 25 more years, to age 82,” writes Christine Pelisek, “the bite will hit $1 million.”

On Aug. 23, The New York Times reported that Franklin “pleaded not guilty Monday to murdering 10 women and trying to kill one more person over two decades. The pleas were entered by a lawyer for the defendant, Lonnie Franklin Jr., 57.”

Disturbing questions

Besides the horrific nature of the crimes and the body count, the grim possibility exists that, if Franklin is indeed the perpetrator, then his gruesome acts were, in effect, subsidized by city pension. Furthermore, the payments escalate over time because they are based on a formula pegged to inflation. Even more galling are the possibilities that Franklin may have sustained the injuries while committing the crimes or, at the other end of the spectrum, that the injuries may been minimal and damages should not have been awarded at all:

“Was Lonnie Franklin Jr. permanently disabled with a bad right shoulder because he was picking up old-style garbage cans?

“Many of the brutal Grim Sleeper killings he allegedly committed occurred during the same years and even the same months that Franklin claimed a rotator cuff injury. The killings required heavy lifting and brute strength, particularly to dispose of the bodies.

“Some victims were wrapped in rugs and hefted into big garbage bins, or dragged into alleys, at the same time Franklin was on city-approved ‘Injured on Duty’ leave and being paid his full monthly salary, $2,200, to stay home.”

Privacy concerns

The Weekly says that the city can’t provide details of Franklin’s injury reports, including whether witnesses existed, because of privacy rules. However, some details have been found:

“But it is known that Franklin submitted an injury claim two months after cocktail waitress Debra Jackson, allegedly his first victim, was found dead and covered by a carpet, her body dragged into an alley west of Vermont Avenue on August 10, 1985.

“On April 15, 1987, Bernita Sparks’ 165-pound body was found heaved into a commercial garbage bin in an alley near 94th and Western Avenue. Seven months later, on November 10, 1987, Mary Lowe was killed, her body hauled into an alleyway.

“Nine days after Lowe was killed, Franklin was granted paid temporary injury leave from his city job.

“While he was still on leave in January 1988, being paid $2,200 a month by the city, police say he killed Lachrica Jefferson.

“Then, still on city leave for his shoulder injury in September 1988, police say he sexually assaulted and murdered Alicia ‘Monique’ Alexander.

A reluctant ruling?

Two orthopedists disagreed over Franklin’s injuries in the early 90s, so a third specialist was brought in to make a ruling. That doctor decided the disability status was warranted, but apparently it was a reluctant ruling: “A third doctor, finally brought in to settle the case, ruled that ‘Mr. Franklin must unfortunately be considered disabled.’ ”

Even worse, it may simply have been a ruling of convenience. “Recently, trying to imagine what city officials were thinking 19 years ago, Bruce Whidden, executive director of the Los Angeles Personnel Department, says pension officials may have thought ‘it was cheaper to pension him off instead of making him a workable employee.’ ”

Beyond the spectacular ironies of Franklin’s case, the episode brings into question municipal disability pensions in general.

Lack of fraud enforcement vs. ’skyrocketing’ payments

“City officials tell the Weekly that once a city employee such as Franklin wins a ‘disability pension,’ Los Angeles has no fraud unit employed to recheck workers occasionally, to make certain they are not committing fraud against taxpayers.

“This news about Franklin comes at a time when the cost of retirement benefits for city employees is under intense scrutiny. Los Angeles city pension payouts will skyrocket by $800 million over the next five years, dramatically eroding money available for core public services to L.A. residents.”

Can my Social Security Disability Benefits be garnished to pay child support payments?

Friday, June 25th, 2010

To answer this question, you must determine what type of Social Security Disability benefits you are currently receiving. The Social Security Administration offers two types of disability benefits: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Supplemental Security Income or SSI is a social security disability benefit given to certain qualifying individuals including: the aged, blind and disabled who meet certain income and resource levels. Income and resource levels change each year and can be found on the Social Security Administration’s website.  Supplemental Security Income is given to these individuals for clothing, housing and food expenses.

The federal government funds Supplemental Security Income through general tax revenues not the Social Security Trust Fund.  The federal government treats Supplemental Security Income as a public welfare benefit similar to food stamps and does not consider Supplemental Security Income or SSI to be income for the purposes of child support payments. Therefore, the federal government does not allow Supplemental Security Income benefits to be garnished.

In contrast, Social Security Disability Insurance or SSDI was money paid into the Social Security Trust Fund through employment taxes based on a percentage of the employee’s earnings. The goal of the Social Security Trust Fund is to allow for the replacement of income for certain employees who become disabled and are unable to work.

According to the federal government, the Social Security Disability Income or SSDI benefit is considered a substitute for lost wages and is eligible to be garnished for child support payments. One benefit of Social Security Disability Insurance, however, is children of qualifying disabled workers who receive Social Security Disability Insurance payments may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability Insurance or SSDI benefits until a certain age (18 under most circumstances) and these SSDI payments may be subtracted from the child support amount owed.

If you have questions regarding your Social Security Disability benefit or the garnishment of you Social Security Disability benefits to pay for child support, it is important to contact a Social Security Disability Attorney who can answer all of your questions. Social Security Disability Attorneys can also answer questions about applying for Social Security Disability Benefits or help you recover any Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income benefits you may have lost.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction and Receiving Social Security Disability

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010
A labeled diagram of the human pelvis, created...
Image via Wikipedia

Your sacroiliac joint is the joint between the sacrum, at the base of your spine, and the ilium of your pelvis, which are joined by ligaments. It is a strong, weightbearing synovial joint with irregular elevations and depressions that produce interlocking of your bones.

Inflammation of this joint may be caused by sacroiliitis, which is one cause of disabling low back pain. With sacroiliitis, you may experience pain in your low back, buttocks and thighs, and you may also have other signs and symptoms of a rheumatic condition, such as inflammation in your eyes or psoriasis.

Another condition of the sacroiliac joint is called sacroiliac joint dysfunction. While sacroiliac joint dysfunction also causes low back and leg pain and results from inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, it differs from sacroiliitis in that its origin is a disruption in the normal movement of the joint (too much or too little movement in the joint).

There are several different terms for sacroiliac joint problems including SI joint inflammation, SI joint strain, SI joint dysfunction and SI joint syndrome. Each of these terms refers to a condition that causes pain in your sacroiliac joints from a variety of causes.

Joint dysfunction refers to the failure of a joint in your body to function the way it should.  Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is the term used when your sacroiliac joint is not functioning properly and is causing you problems.

Any condition that alters your normal walking pattern puts increased stress on your sacroiliac joint and could play a role in causing sacroiliac joint dysfunction. One leg being longer than the other, pain in your foot, ankle, knee or hip are examples of other things that can cause this dysfunction.

The most usual way that you are affected by sacroiliac joint dysfunction is pain. This pain is usually in your lower back or the back of your hips. However, the pain can also be in your groin and thighs. The pain is usually made worse by standing and walking. It is usually relieved by lying down. There can also be a burning sensation or stiffness in your pelvis.

You or a loved one may have sacroiliac joint dysfunction. This condition may be the cause of you or your loved one’s disability.

If this is the case, you or your loved one may need help? You may need financial help?

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by sacroiliac joint dysfunction? Were you or your loved one denied?

If you or your loved one appeals the denial by the Social Security Administration, remember this. People who are represented in the appeals procedure by a disability attorney like the one you will find here are approved more often than those people who are not represented by a lawyer.

Do not delay. Find an advocate to help you with your appeal.

Arthropathy and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

The term, “arthropathy,” comes from two Greek words that mean “joint” and “disease or feeling”. Arthropathy is a blanket term that is used to refer to joint diseases.

There are several different forms of arthropathy. Some of the more common forms are Charcot, facet, crystal, diabetic, reactive, enteropathic and neurogenic arthropathy. These are due to a variety of causes, and they have to have different approaches to treat them.

The incidence and prevalence of the various forms of arthropathy are not known. This is because arthropathy is usually secondary to an underlying disease.

Women are more likely to have arthropathy than men. It is far more common in people over the age of 40 than in children or young adults.

As mentioned earlier, there are a variety of causes for arthropathy depending on what form of the disorder that you have. Heredity, injury, fractures or overuse are possible causes for various forms of arthropathy.

There are some risk factors that may increase your likelihood of getting some form of arthropathy. These include:

  • Obesity or being overweight
  • Having a metabolic disorder
  • Being injured
  • Participation in a competitive contact sport.

The signs and symptoms that you may experience with arthropathy will be different according to the root cause of your disorder and what type of arthropathy that you have.

With some forms of arthropathy you will feel stiffness and pain around the affected joints. However, with other forms of this disorder you may have a loss of feeling or sensation around the affected joints because of nerve damage. Other signs and symptoms, depending on the type of arthropathy that you have, are joint deformity, instability, swelling and dislocation.

Your doctor will probably do a complete physical exam and want to know about your signs and symptoms in order to diagnose your arthropathy. He or she will likely check for underlying conditions and want to rule out other possible causes of your signs and symptoms. There are diagnostic tests that will help to do this. These include:

  • Blood tests
  • X-rays
  • MRI scan
  • CT scan
  • Bone scan.

You or your loved one may have been diagnosed with arthropathy. This disorder and/or complications arising from or in conjunction with it may be why you are disabled and not able to work.

Your may need help if this is your situation. You may need financial assistance.

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by arthropathy and/or complications resulting from or in conjunction with it? Were you or your loved one denied?

If you decide to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration, think about this. People who are represented by a disability attorney like the one you will find here are approved more often than people without a lawyer.

Fragile X Syndrome and Receiving Social Security Disability

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Fragile X syndrome is the most common form of inherited mental impairment. There is a problem with a specific gene that causes the disease. This gene is called the FMR 1 gene. Normally, this gene makes a protein that you need for brain development. The problem is this mutation causes a person to make little or none of the protein. This is what results in fragile X syndrome.

The impairment caused by fragile X syndrome can range from learning disabilities to more serious intellectual or cognitive disabilities. This is sometimes referred to as mental retardation. Fragile X syndrome is also the most common known cause of autism or “autistio-like” behaviors.

Geneticist Herbert Lubs first identified fragile X syndrome. He first observed the chromosomal defect that is responsible for the syndrome in 1969.

Fragile X syndrome affects about 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 8,000 females in the United States. It is evidenced in all racial and ethnic groups.

Children and adults with Fragile X syndrome may be affected in many different ways.  Males tend to be more severely affected than females. Some of these ways are:

  • Some degree of mental impairment (mental retardation) or learning disabilities
  • Autistic-like behaviors like hand biting and hand flapping
  • Mood and anxiety problems
  • Behavioral problems like frequent tantrums and difficulties paying attention
  • Speech problems
  • Sensitivity to sounds, light, textures and touch
  • Delays in learning how to talk, sit and walk
  • Subtle physical features that sometimes include a high arched palate, flat feet, large ears, a long narrow face and overly flexible joints (especially the fingers)
  • Males tend to develop enlarged testicles after puberty.

Girls with fragile X syndrome generally have fewer physical signs of the disorder than males. However, some girls have large ears. Only about one-third to one-half of affected girls have mental retardation or learning disabilities. Although, some affected girls with normal intelligence have learning disabilities involving attention difficulties, math, emotional problems (such as shyness, depression and anxiety) and poor social skills.

Most boys with fragile X syndrome have serious learning disabilities or mental retardation. They tend to have social and emotional problems like aggression.

Your child with disability may have fragile X syndrome. This may be the cause of their disability.

You may have tried to get financial help for your child with disability by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by fragile X syndrome and complications resulting from it. Was your child with disability denied?

If you decide to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration, keep this in mind. People who are represented by a disability attorney like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than those people who do not have a lawyer.

Chronic Pain and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

There are 2 kinds of pain. Acute pain is pain that comes on you suddenly as the result of an accident, injury or illness. It goes away as your body heals. Chronic pain, however, is pain that continues long after your body has healed.

Chronic pain was originally defined as pain that lasted longer than 6 months. Now, chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts longer than the temporal course of natural healing that is associated with a particular disease or injury.

Chronic pain can come in many forms. Chronic pain can come from:

  • General somatic pain – This is pain from your outer body.
  • Visceral pain – This is pain that comes from your internal organs.
  • Bone pain – This is pain resulting from disease or injury to your bones.
  • Muscle spasm – This is pain from something affecting your muscles.
  • Peripheral neuropathy – This is pain coming from the nerves leading from your head, face, trunk or extremities to your spinal cord.
  • Circulatory problems – This is pain coming from problems with your circulation.
  • Headaches – This is pain coming from your head hurting.

The obvious effect caused by chronic pain is pain that you continue to experience, that persists. It is pain that will not go away. Chronic pain is pain that goes on long after it should have stopped.

It should be apparent that chronic pain is not a disease, disorder, or disability. Chronic pain is an effect that is being caused by a condition, injury or ailment that can cause disability.

In other words, if you or a loved one is disabled, the cause of your disability is whatever is causing your chronic pain. Chronic pain may be the primary way that you or your loved one is being affected by whatever your underlying condition is.

If this is true, you or your loved one may need help. You may need financial assistance.

Where will the financial help that you need come from? Who is going to help you? Who can you turn to?

Have you or your loved one applied for financial assistance from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability that is primarily characterized by chronic pain? Were you or your loved one denied by the Social Security Administration?

You or your loved one may be planning on appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration. If this is what you decide to do, here is something that you need to be aware of.

You or your loved one is going to need the advice of a disability attorney like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com in this process. The reason for this being true is because people who have a disability lawyer in their corner are approved more often than those people who are without an attorney.

Distal Muscular Dystrophy and Receiving Social Security Disability

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Muscular dystrophy is also known as (MD). Muscular dystrophy is used for a group of hereditary, genetic, muscle diseases that are characterized by progressive muscle weakness in the muscles that help your body move.

Incorrect or missing information in your genes is what causes muscular dystrophy. In order to have healthy muscles, certain proteins are needed. Muscular dystrophy prevents these from being made. Muscular dystrophy is not contagious. You cannot catch it from someone who has the disease.

Your muscles are weakened over time by muscular dystrophy. The ability to do things that most people take for granted like walking or sitting up is lost by children, teens and adults who have this disease. These problems caused by muscular dystrophy can begin at birth or shortly after. Sometimes, they can also start later on in childhood, adolescence or adulthood.

There are several different kinds of muscular dystrophy that affect different muscle groups in different ways. Distal muscular dystrophy is one of the types of this disease.

Distal muscular dystrophy was first described in 1902. It usually begins in middle age or even later. However, it can begin in childhood.

Distal muscular dystrophy is really a group of diseases rather than a single disease. Just as there are several forms of muscular dystrophy, there are also different types of distal muscular dystrophy.

This disease affects your distal muscles. These are the muscles that are farthest away from your shoulders and hips. These are the muscles in your hands, lower arms, feet and lower legs.

The primary signs and symptoms of distal muscular dystrophy are wasting and weakness in the muscles of your hands, forearms and lower legs. In time, however, other muscle groups may be affected.

The signs and symptoms of this disease usually progress slowly. Other possible signs and symptoms that you may experience include:

  • Difficulty walking
  • Frequent falls
  • A waddling gait
  • Joint contractures
  • Heart problems

Your intellect is not affected by distal muscular dystrophy.

You or your child with disability may have been diagnosed with distal muscular dystrophy. This disease may be why you or your child with disability is disabled. This disorder may be why you need financial assistance.

Have you applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration for you or your child with disability because of the disability caused by distal muscular dystrophy? Were you or your child with disability denied?

If you decide to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration, please pay close attention to this. People who are represented in the appeals process by a disability lawyer like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than those people who are not represented by an attorney.

Please do not put this off. This is something that may affect you or your child with disability for the rest of their life. Contact the dependable disability lawyer at socialsecurityhome.com, today.

Antisocial Personality Disorder and Receiving Social Security Disability

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Personality disorder is a broad term that is used in regards to a type of mental illness where the way in which you relate to others, perceive situations and the manner in which you think is dysfunctional. Did you know that there are many different, specific kinds of personality disorders?

Personality disorder is used to describe an unbending and potentially self-destructive, self-denigrating way of thinking and behaving regardless of what the situation is. This results in hindering your ability to carry out routine functions at social situations, school or work. It brings about distress in your life.

You may or may not know that you have a personality disorder. This is because the way that you act and think may seem natural to you. You may blame others are for your circumstances.

Nearly 15% of adults in the United States have some kind of personality disorder. This means that over 30 million Americans have some type of personality disorder.

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD or APD) is one of these forms of personality disorder. It is a psychiatric condition in which there is a pervasive pattern of thinking and acting in a way that shows violation of, and disregard for, the rights of others. Antisocial personality disorder often involves breaking the law and getting into frequent conflict or trouble.

Antisocial personality disorder is also referred to as sociopathic personality disorder or psychopathy. However, some experts believe that psychopathic personality and antisocial personality disorder are two different conditions.

Approximately 3% to 5% of men in the United States are believed to have some kind of antisocial personality disorder. It is believed that 1% of women have this personality disorder.

There are several signs and symptoms that may be an indication of antisocial personality disorder. Some of these are:

  • Violent or aggressive behavior
  • Agitation
  • Work behavior that is not responsible
  • Impulsive behavior
  • The use of wit or charm to manipulate others
  • A disregard for wrong and right
  • Abusive or poor relationships
  • Ongoing deceit or lying
  • Recurring problems with the law
  • Intimidating others
  • A lack of remorse when hurting others
  • Violating the rights of others repeatedly
  • Neglect or child abuse.

You or a loved one may have antisocial personality disorder. This disorder and/or complications resulting from or other conditions along with it may be the reason you or your loved one is disabled.

Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by antisocial personality disorder and/or complications resulting from or other conditions along with it? Were you denied?

If you appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration, always remember. People who are represented by a disability lawyer like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com are approved more often than people without an attorney.

Receiving Social Security Disability For Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Undifferentiated connective tissue disease is a condition which affects your muscles and body organs in a number of ways. It is a disorder that has not yet developed to a point where doctors can easily identify the disease.

Undifferentiated connective tissue disease describes people who have certain laboratory markers and clinical characteristics that suggest a systemic autoimmune disorder or connective tissue disease. However, these patients lack sufficient features for a well-defined connective tissue disease like lupus, scleroderma or rheumatoid arthritis.

It is similar to mixed connective tissue disease but is not the same. With mixed connective tissue disease, patients have enough characteristics of more than one connective tissue disease to simultaneously meet the criteria for several of these disorders.

In contrast to this, people with undifferentiated connective tissue disease do not have enough features of any one connective tissue disease to meet the established diagnostic criteria for that condition. Instead, they may have features of several known diseases. Therefore, they are said to be “undifferentiated”.

Undifferentiated connective tissue disease is believed to be a systemic autoimmune disorder. “Systemic” means that it can affect almost any system in your body. “Autoimmune” refers to conditions in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body tissues.

There are several different effects that you may experience with undifferentiated connective tissue disease. Some of these effects are:

  • Oral ulcers
  • Rash
  • Arthritis (link to page Arthritis and Disability)
  • Fever
  • Photosensitivity
  • Neuropathy.

A preliminary classification criterion for this disorder has been proposed. This involves two things:

  • Signs and symptoms for at least 3 years that are suggestive of a connective tissue disease but that do not meet the criteria for any defined connective tissue disorder.
  • The presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) being identified on two different occasions.

The effects caused by undifferentiated connective tissue disease can be debilitating. You or a loved one may be disabled and unable to work because of this disease.

You may be looking for help if this is the case. You may be searching for financial help.

Have you or your loved one applied for that financial assistance from the Social Security Administration for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability caused by undifferentiated connective tissue disease? Were you or your loved one denied?

You or your loved one may be thinking about appealing the denial by the Social Security Administration. If this is what you decide to do, here is something for you to think about.

You or your loved one may need a disability attorney like the one you will find at socialsecurityhome.com to represent you in what can be a long and trying process. The reason why this is true is because people who are represented by a disability lawyer are approved more often than those people who are not represented by an attorney.

Do not delay. Contact the disability lawyer at socialsecurityhome.com, today.
