After more than 15 years of denials, we helped a 66-year-old veteran secure long-overdue Social Security Disability benefits. His case was complicated by a narrow seven-month window to prove disability, with a Date Last Insured expiring at the end of 2022 and an onset date in mid-May of 2022.
Although previously limited to sedentary work, he was denied because SSA believed he could still perform past jobs. However, a recent rule change allowed only the last five years of past work to be considered—effectively removing his prior jobs from evaluation. Using this change, we proved he was no longer capable of working, leading to a successful outcome.
This case highlights how up-to-date legal knowledge and persistence can make all the difference.
