Closed Period Approved for Home Health Aide

Closed Period Approved for Home Health Aide

Our client, a home health aide under 40, underwent ankle surgery that led to complications and poor healing. Over the course of 20 months, she required multiple surgeries and was unable to work due to ongoing pain and limited mobility.

Once fully healed and released from her surgeon’s care, she returned to work and steadily increased her hours. Given the clear medical documentation and her poor recovery, we pursued a closed period of disability benefits.

The Social Security Administration approved the claim, providing crucial support during her recovery.

This case highlights the importance of carefully evaluating the claim using the medical evidence and work history to secure the best possible outcome for the client.
