Every summer, people get a tick bite that often leads to Lyme disease. Not everyone knows what the symptoms are or what to do if they get infected. For many people, treatment takes care of much of the problem, but there are others who get very sick and can no longer work.
Symptoms of the serious cases include memory impairment, severe fatigue, joint swelling and pain, and neurological issues. Some or most of these symptoms will cause someone suffering from severe Lyme disease not to be able to work any further. That person will then need to apply for Social Security disability payments.
That process can not only be stressful but often comes with a rejection from Social Security, especially when someone tries to go it alone and apply without legal consultation and help. You need a Chicago Lyme disease disability lawyer.
In almost all cases, Social Security will request confirmation from your physician as to why you cannot work anymore. Such a confirming document may say things like, “patient can no longer stand for long periods of time,” or that “impaired muscle issues contraindicate that this person can no longer lift anything more than 10 pounds”.
When or if your claim is rejected, you need to hire an attorney who can help you dispute the rejection. Lawyers who specialize in this field of law benefit from years of experience dealing with the Social Security Administration and know exactly what to do in order to help you get your rejection overturned.
If you live in the Chicago, Illinois, area you need to seek out a Chicago Lyme disease disability lawyer. You should contact The Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates, Ltd. today.
