When Heart or Lung Disease Prevents You From Working
Heart and lung conditions are serious and often disabling illnesses that can have impact on every aspect of your life, including your ability to work. You may be facing the loss of income along with the physical challenges associated with a heart or lung illness.
At the Robert Koenigsberg Law Offices in New York City, our Social Security disability attorney, Maria C. Makis, will help you through the sometimes complex and difficult process of receiving Social Security benefits. Whether in an initial application, an administrative hearing or as part of an appeal, we fight for your coverage.
Building Your Social Security Case
We work with you to help you build your case to the Social Security Administration (SSA) so that you can receive needed benefits under Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Our job as your lawyer is to help you prove through convincing evidence and support that your illness or the medication associated with that illness is preventing you from working.
We work with clients facing such conditions as:
- Congestive heart failure
- Bypasses
- Congenital heart disease
- Muscle damage
- Exposure to toxic chemicals
- Emphysema
- Angina
- Ischemia
- Arrhythmia
Often the medications associated with treating your condition can make you drowsy, have mood-changing effects or compromise your ability to concentrate. Attorney Makis can combine documented medical evidence with proven strategies to help you pursue the benefits your need.
Working With Heart and Lung Disease Clients
Whatever the cause of your disability, you have the right to fully pursue your SSI or SSDI case.
