Hard-to-Prove Disabilities

Success in Challenging Denied SSDI Claims

People who have certain diseases or disabilities automatically qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits if their claims are handled correctly. These conditions, like certain types of cancer, some forms of paralysis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), can be diagnosed definitely with various medical tests.

Difficult-to-Prove Disabilities

It can be much more difficult to prove that other conditions are disabling. Severe depression, anxiety and some neurological disorders can be crippling, but they cannot be diagnosed with blood tests or X-rays. Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (Epstein-Barr) can be disabling conditions, but there are no tests to prove the extent of the disability.

The attorneys of Foshee & Yaffe have obtained Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits for clients with disabilities that can be difficult to prove, including:

Back and disc problems
Migraines
Chronic pain
Chronic fatigue
Depression
Anxiety
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Schizophrenia
Other mental conditions
Fibromyalgia

We will ask your treating physician to explain your limitations in a manner that is meaningful to the SSA. We may ask you to keep a daily journal documenting the level of your chronic pain and how it affects your life. We will work tirelessly to prove your case and win Social Security Disability Insurance benefits.
