Social Security Disability Attorney Columbus
Disability Benefits for Severe Heart Problems
Symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, nausea, chest pressure, arm pain and extreme weakness can indicate a serious heart problem and may severely impair your ability to work and support yourself.
But to get help from the Social Security Administration (SSA), you need to prove it.
The Ohio heart problems lawyers of Shifrin Newman Smith Inc. have the experience, knowledge and resources it will take to help you succeed. We have been dedicated to this work since 1985 and have helped countless numbers of people with severe heart problems to obtain disability benefits. We have also helped many previous clients by putting them in touch with free and low-cost medical service providers.

Help your own cause. If you smoke and have heart problems or breathing problems of any type, we can't urge you strongly enough to find a way to quit as soon as possible. The Social Security Administration (SSA) doesn't like to award benefits to people who keep themselves disabled by continuing to engage in drug, alcohol, or tobacco abuse.
Government Listings for Heart Problems
Heart problems are covered in sections 4.00 (adults) and 104.00 (children) of the SSA's listing of impairments. Specific conditions that have been recognized as disabling include:
- Chronic heart failure (congestive heart failure)
- Ischemic heart disease
- Recurrent arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
- Congenital heart defects
- Heart transplants
- Heart aneurysms
- Pulmonary vascular disease
Working With Your Doctor
The SSA's impairment listings carefully and specifically identify the characteristics that define what is, and what is not, a disabling heart problem. If you don't meet all of the conditions, you have to be able to present medical evidence that the severity of your condition is equal to the SSA's listed definition of severe. Having helped thousands of people navigate the disability claims process, we will work with your doctor to build a clear and compelling case on your behalf.
