SSDI & SSI Attorney in Los Angeles: Can Heart Disease Qualify Your Client for Disability Benefits?
Yes. Cardiovascular conditions are among the impairments commonly accepted by SSA. But cardiac claims fail at a predictable point, and it isn’t the diagnosis. Walker Firm dba Casa de la Justicia is an SSDI and SSI law firm in Los Angeles with more than 3,000 approvals and a 75% approval rate at the hearing level, we see the same gap in nearly every denied heart case that reaches us: a record full of cardiology results with no functional bridge to the inability to work.
Where Cardiac Claims Are Won
Heart failure, ischemic heart disease, serious arrhythmias. SSA recognizes them all. What adjudicators need is the functional translation: exertional limits, documented fatigue, physician-imposed restrictions on lifting and activity. Stress tests and imaging establish the diagnosis. Treating-source statements about what the client can no longer sustain establish the disability. We build that bridge from day one, and when a client comes to us post-denial, rebuilding it is usually the entire case.
SSDI, SSI, or Both: We Screen for All Three
Cardiac claimants split across both programs. Long work histories point to SSDI, limited work histories to SSI, and some clients qualify concurrently. Our free evaluation identifies the correct path before filing, a screening step that prevents the misdirected applications that cost claimants months. If you have a client whose heart condition has ended their working life, that evaluation is just one phone call away.
