Pittsburgh Excretory System Disorder Disability Lawyer

Chronic kidney and excretory system problems can make it impossible to maintain regular employment. If you are seeking SSDI or SSI payments due to severe kidney, urinary, or renal system disorders, a Pittsburgh excretory system disability lawyer can help you get the benefits you deserve.

For more than 40 years, our attorneys have helped residents to prepare their application for Social Security Disability benefits, appeal any denials, and provide representation before an Administrative Law Judge. When building a strong claim, your attorney will document how chronic kidney and excretory system disease keeps you from working. We have experience and in-depth knowledge of what the Social Security Administration (SSA) looks for when it reviews your claim at each stage including the application, request for reconsideration, and hearing.

What Excretory System Problems Would Support an SSD Application?

Section 6.0 of the SSA Blue Book defines the criteria that an excretory system disorder must meet to be considered a valid basis for SSD benefits. Kidney failure that requires regular dialysis treatments is the clearest example of one of those disorders. Your Pittsburgh attorney can review your circumstances to verify if your specific excretory system disability is included in Section 6.0, which might include:

• Painful kidney stone issues
• Certain types of inflammation that impair your kidneys’ abilities and can lead to excessive blood or protein in your waste stream
• Short Bowel Syndrome
• Cysts of tumors in your kidneys
• Incontinence
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Gastrointestinal hemorrhaging
• Diabetes-related kidney problems
• Enlarged prostate issues, which can prevent full evacuation of an affected man’s bladder.

If you have any symptoms of excretory system problems, such as painful or frequent urination, blood in your urine, swollen ankles, other markers of fluid retention, or high blood pressure, consult with a medical specialist first, then call our experienced Pittsburgh attorney who can determine if you are entitled to claim SSDI payments.

How Does the SSA Evaluate Excretory System Disability Applications?

All excretory system SSDI benefits applications must include clear medical verification that your kidney, bladder, or bowel function has been chronically impaired by your condition. Your Pittsburgh lawyer can review your medical records to build a strong claim to satisfy threshold requirements for an SSDI and SSI claim approval.

To strengthen your claim you and your attorney will show how your condition makes full time employment impossible. The SSA will review the type of work you have done and if you are able to do the same work or any other full-time employment. Special attention is applied to SSD applicants who are older than 50, and the SSA will determine if you can sustain any form of employment consistent with your age and experience.

In all cases, accurate information about your work history and medical conditions will increase the likelihood that your application will be approved. The attorneys at Berger and Green know what common mistakes people make when completing their application and what information the SSA is looking for.
