Many individuals not familiar with heart problems may be shocked to find a finding of disability is not a sure thing when an individual suffers from this type of impairment. 

The truth is, the Social Security Administration (SSA) believes you can recover from these types of cardiovascular impairments and go on to perform substantial gainful activity.

How can you win an Indiana Social Security disability claim for Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits?  One of the keys may be good solid comprehensive medical records. 

Statements from your treating physician, preferably a specialist in the cardiovascular area, stating your restrictions and inability to work can be beneficial. 

One way to win your Indiana Social Security disability claim is to meet or equal Social Security’s Listing of Impairments under Section 4.00 for the Cardiovascular System. 

The Listing of Impairments can be very rigid in their guidelines, and many Indiana disability claimants find that they don’t precisely meet the standards contained int the listings.  It is important not to give up when you do not meet or equal a listing, but instead concentrate on your physical residual functional capacity or how limited you are by your heart condition.

Indiana disability lawyer Scott D. Lewis usually concentrates on symptoms his clients experience such as extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, and the inability to stay on task just to name a few. 

Many individuals find they cannot complete a full work day due to this disability and if they do they are simply unable to return to the workplace the next day due to exhaustion and/or pain. 

It can be very important to let your treating physician know the serious symptoms you are experiencing in order to win your Social Security disability claim.
