OUTCOME: Fully Favorable

The claimant was receiving SSDI due to MS, and returned to work. She received a notice of overpayment, which we challenged, contending that SSA did not give her credit for certain Impairment Related Wo ... rk Expenses(IRWE) which would reduce her income and keep her eligilble for SSDI benefits for a number of months. At issue were expenses for alternative therapies for MS. I was able to convince the Judge that her out of pocket expenses for a special diet and personal trainer should properly be considered as IRWE's.
