Migraine Headaches

Feb 02, 2017

OUTCOME: WIN

2. I recently received a Favorable Decision after an Administrative Law Judge hearing awarding benefits to my client, a 35 year old female, who suffers from chronic migraine headaches. These cases are ... hard to win because the client has to be very credible when testifying about the frequency and severity of the migraine headaches. It was very helpful to have a supportive treating doctor who kept very detailed notes concerning my client’s migraine headaches. This case demonstrates why it is so important to have a believable client and a supportive treating doctor in your corner.

Muscular Dystrophy

Jan 03, 2017

OUTCOME: WIN

1. A 32 year old male had experienced weakness and clumsiness in his youth but could never determine why. His symptoms progressively worsened where he started experiencing seizures, fatigue, muscle p ... ain, and weakness. He had to stop working because of his poor health. Doctors’ thought he had cerebral palsy. It turns out, after a biopsy was performed, my client had a form of muscular dystrophy. We had a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge and won. This case illustrates that some medical conditions are difficult to diagnose, such as multiple sclerosis, migraines, fibromyalgia, and Parkinson’s disease. We, the social security attorneys and clients, have to be persistent to get the proper diagnosis so treatment can be given. We don’t give up and I know our clients won’t either.
