Long Covid

COVID pandemic may be over for most of us, but it's not over for those people suffering from Long COVID.  According to the Mayo Clinic, common symptoms of long COVID include extreme fatigue, problems with memory, lightheadedness or dizziness, sleep problems, shortness of breath and headaches.  These symptoms can last weeks, months, and in many cases years.

We represent a 48 year old Underwriting Analyst from Williston Park, whose Social Security Disability ("SSD") benefits were approved by ALJ Linda Stagno, On The Record "OTR".  After reviewing the same medical records that the State agency doctors reviewed, ALJ Stagno recognized the obvious severity of our client's condition and approved the OTR.  This illustrates the waste of time spent by the Stage agency, whose doctors continue to deny people who have sufficient supportive medical evidence to be approved.

It may seem obvious to a claimant that their medical condition renders them disabled from working a fulltime job.  However, it is not so obvious to Social Security, which is why you should retain an experienced disability attorney who understands exactly what is needed to obtain a successful outcome.  Our office in Melville, Long Island offers free phone consultations for anyone considering applying for disability benefits.
