As your Lake of the Ozarks SSD lawyer, we’ll guide you through every stage of the process with no upfront cost.

If You Are 50 Or Older, Federal Rules May Work In Your Favor

Many Lake area residents do not realize that the Social Security Administration’s Medical-Vocational Guidelines, known as the Grid Rules, can significantly improve your chances of approval at age 50 and again at 55. You do not have to prove total inability to work. If you cannot return to your past heavy or physically demanding job, and have limited transferable skills, the Grid Rules can support an approval. For older tradespeople, construction workers and service industry workers throughout the Lake region, this distinction can make all the difference in your claim.

Conditions We See Among Lake Area Workers

Years of demanding labor in construction, marine services and trades take a serious toll on the body. We regularly represent claimants living with:

• Degenerative disc disease and chronic spinal conditions from years of heavy lifting
• Osteoarthritis and joint replacements that limit mobility and sustained activity
• Cardiovascular conditions that restrict physical exertion on the job

If any of these conditions sound familiar, you may have a stronger claim than you realize, and we are ready to help you explore it.
