Getting Social Security Benefits For Abdominal Angina

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

When you hear the word, “angina” you probably think of problems with your heart. Angina, however, can also refer to abdominal pain.

Abdominal angina is postprandial abdominal pain that occurs if you have insufficient blood flow to meet mesenteric visceral demands. It is intermittent abdominal pain that frequently develops at a fixed time after eating.

There are other names for this discomfort and pain. Abdominal angina is also called bowelgina and intestinal angina.

The primary effect that abdominal angina will probably have on you is disabling central abdominal pain that comes 10-15 minutes after eating. This pain usually increases in intensity until it reaches a plateau. Then, it slowly goes away several hours after eating.

At the beginning, this pattern of pain occurs only after eating a large meal. However, over time, this pain develops even after small meals. You begin to associate eating a meal with pain.

Another way that abdominal angina will affect you is by causing significant weight loss. This is weight loss that comes without you trying to lose weight.

As abdominal angina grows more serious, the effects that it causes may make it hard for you to get and hold a job. You may not be able to work if you are suffering intense abdominal pain and weakness from losing a significant amount of weight.

The disability caused by abdominal angina may qualify you to receive Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration. The experienced disability attorney at socialsecurityhome.com is the one who will give you the best advice concerning applying for disability benefits.

Does this apply to you? Are you or a loved one suffering from abdominal angina?

Is abdominal angina keeping you or your loved one from working? Is it the cause of your disability?

Do you or your loved one need assistance? Are you in need of financial help?

Have you or your loved one applied for that financial assistance from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by abdominal angina? Were you or your loved one denied by the Social Security Administration? 

If so, you may be wondering what to do now? You may wonder what options you have open to you.

One option that you or your loved one has is to appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration. If this is what you decide to do, here is something for you to keep in mind.

You or your loved one will need a dependable Social Security disability lawyer like the one atsocialsecurityhome.com to help and counsel you in what can be a long and trying process.

Applying for Social Security Disability Benefits

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

You believe that you are disabled and would like to apply for Social Security disability (SSD) benefits. Or, you have a child that you believe is disabled and would like to apply for Social Security disability benefits for your child with disability.

How do you go about doing this? What do you have to do to apply for these benefits? Where do you have to go? Is the application hard to fill out? How long is the application? What information will you need to have to fill out the application?

These are all questions that you may have. These are questions that you need answered.

To begin with, there is an application that you have to fill out in order to apply for Social Security disability benefits. This application can be filled out in one of three ways.

The first way to fill out an application for Social Security disability (SSD) is by going in to your local Social Security Administration office where you can fill out the application in person. If you do not have a Social Security Administration office near where you live, there are two other ways to fill out the application.

You can fill out the application online. To do this, you have to go to the Social Security website which is www.socialsecurity.gov. Here, you can fill out an application for Social Security disability (SSD).

The other way to fill out the application for SSD is by telephone. The number to call is 1-800-772-1213. If you are deaf or hard of hearing the number is 1-800-325-0778.

When you go to the website to apply for SSD online, the first thing you are asked to do is to select the age category of the person who is disabled. If it is a child under the age of 18, you are then directed to a page that tells you how to apply for disability benefits for a child.

You have to complete an Application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and a Child Disability Report. At the present time, only the Child Disability Report can be filled out online. The SSI application has to be done either by phone or in person.

Also on this page, you will find steps on how to apply for your child with disability. These steps include a Child Disability Starter Kit that answers common questions about applying for SSI benefits for children, and it has a worksheet to help you gather the information that you will need.

If you are applying for yourself or another adult over age 18, you are directed to a page that tells you how to apply for disability benefits for an adult. You have to complete an application for Social Security Benefits and an Adult Disability Report. Both the application and the Adult Disability Report can be done online, by phone or in person.

As with the page on filing for a child, there are also steps on how to apply for an adult on this page. There is an Adult Disability Starter Kit that answers common questions about applying for benefits for an adult, and a worksheet to help you gather the information that you will need to fill out the application.

Our next post will give you details about the application and the information you will need to fill it out.
