Social Security Disability Benefits For Anxiety, Panic Disorders And OCD
Securing Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits for mental health conditions can be challenging. Anxiety disorders do not show up on test results, but they are very real, and they can absolutely make you unable to work.
I am Cory A. DeLellis, an attorney at The Law Offices of Cory A. DeLellis, and my entire practice is centered on Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims. These benefits are your right, not a handout, and I know that a panic disorder can be crippling. I help San Diego area residents obtain the SSDI and SSI benefits they deserve.
How Generalized Anxiety Disorder Can Be Disabling
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) involves persistent, uncontrollable worry that can lead to cognitive dysfunction, insomnia, headaches, difficulty engaging with others and problems maintaining concentration and pace at work.
Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia And SSDI Eligibility
Panic disorders and agoraphobia both involve sudden attacks of paralyzing fear and physical reactions that can make workplace attendance or even going out in public impossible. Maintaining a job and socializing can be impossible, especially if attacks are triggered by common situations or interactions with others.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder And Work Challenges
OCD is considered one of the most disabling conditions in the world. Sufferers experience frequent intrusive thoughts that impair their concentration and go through compulsive, time-consuming rituals. They must frequently avoid social situations that trigger the crippling compulsions.
Social Anxiety And RFC Assessment Impact In San Diego, California
Social anxiety can significantly affect the ability to interact with the public, coworkers or supervisors, which is central to the SSA RFC assessment.
Nobody with any of these conditions wants to be this way, but the stigma sometimes prevents people from reaching out for the benefits they need. Medical evidence of these conditions can also sometimes be difficult to secure. It is also critically important to show that you are unable to sustain work activity and keep pace with others when anxiety disorders take over.
I can help you prove the impact of your condition on your life so you can obtain SSDI or SSI, whether you are just starting your SSDI or SSI application or you need to file an appeal.
