Our firm recently assisted a client whose Social Security Disability case became complicated after moving from Pennsylvania to South Carolina mid-process. Pennsylvania SSA would not transfer the case, and South Carolina would not proceed without the transfer. Resolving this required repeated follow-up with both offices to move the case forward.
After finally being transferred, the claim was denied at both the initial and reconsideration stages. At the hearing, the judge initially believed the claimant had improved following surgery and was no longer disabled. However, we presented detailed medical evidence and argued that the claimant remained significantly limited.
Our thorough preparation and persistence led the judge to reconsider the records. A fully favorable decision was issued, recognizing that the claimant had not improved as initially believed.
This case demonstrates the value of strong legal advocacy, especially when navigating administrative obstacles and complex medical histories.
