Getting Social Security Disability Benefits for Cystic Fibrosis in Minnesota

Cystic fibrosis is a chronic, genetic disease that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and the digestive tract. The most common symptom, difficulty breathing, is caused by frequent infections in the lungs. Other life threatening complications can arise in the digestive tract due, in part, to the inability to generate digestive enzymes.

Cystic fibrosis is progressive and can be deadly. There is currently no cure. However, medical advances have significantly increased the life expectancy for those suffering from the disease. Treatments vary and are catered to what each person needs. It is important to consistently treat with a specialist or group of specialists to prevent and control symptoms.

Social Security Disability claimants in Minnesota may qualify for benefits as a result of cystic fibrosis. Whether you qualify for benefits depends on the frequency of infection and the severity of symptoms. Claims based on cystic fibrosis can be complex and difficult to predict. For example:

How much evidence is enough?
How can physicians help with my claim?
What is a hearing with a judge like?
What legal training should a lawyer have?

* Home visits are typically available within a fifty mile radius of the major metro areas. The Bottom Line is that you will not spend a 'dime' out of pocket for our law firm to represent you. The only way our law firm gets paid any money is if you get back back benefits. Out of the back benefits, the Social Security Administration withholds 25% of that and sends it directly to our office to pay your Attorney's Fees. You keep the remaining 75%. 99% of our clients that win their claim receive a back benefits check from Social Security. The average back benefits check paid to our clients is about $6,000 - $9,000. Now, if you receive back benefits that amount could be more or less depending on an individual's case. Remember this is only an example, but it is likely that you will receive some money for back benefits if we won your case.
