Berger and Green recently secured disability benefits for a man who worked at a sporting goods warehouse. He had a successful hip replacement but was slower at his job when he returned to work and was fired because of this. Our client turned to disability benefits for his source of income as he could no longer successfully do his job.
Although his disabilities and work history made a compelling case for benefits, he was denied due to mistakes made by the SSA. His limitations determined by a consultative examiner were incorrectly interpreted by the SSA adjudicator, therefore he was denied benefits. Knowing this mistake was made, Berger and Green took the case to a hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge. Our attorney presented the correct interpretation of the limitations and argued that our client was indeed disabled and deserving of these benefits. Because of our attorney’s knowledge and expertise in these matters, the decision was overturned. Our client was approved and is now receiving the benefits he deserves.
