Over time, diseases like chronic kidney disease also known as CKD can harm the kidneys, and when CKD becomes so extreme such that the kidneys cannot properly function any longer, the patient develops End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and the damage is irreversible. Many times, the only way to resolve it is a kidney transplant, but before receiving a kidney transplant, the patient must go through dialysis treatment. To qualify for social security disability, you need to meet SSA's Blue Book listing for dialysis.

This means that regardless of who is to blame for the accident, the workers compensation insurance carrier should cover your claim. You do not have to prove negligence in a workers compensation claim. As long as you were injured in the course and scope of employment, a claim can be filed. ]]> Wed, 21 Sep 2022 16:38:53 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/different-types-of-workers-compensation-injuries/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/4-important-steps-to-take-in-your-workers’-comp-claim/ Tue, 20 Sep 2022 09:47:56 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/4-important-steps-to-take-in-your-workers’-comp-claim/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/top-workers-comp-nonsubscriber-companies-in-texas/ Mon, 19 Sep 2022 17:58:40 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/top-workers-comp-nonsubscriber-companies-in-texas/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/on-the-job-car-accident/ Mon, 19 Sep 2022 16:58:52 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/on-the-job-car-accident/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-rental-income-affect-my-ability-to-file-for-social-security-disability-benefits/
Likely no. In mostly all cases, rental income is considered unearned income and wont impact your ability to file for Social Security Disability. However, there are 3 circumstances in which rental income can be considered as earned (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.12/handbook-1213.html).

a)your rental income is received in the course of your trade as a real estate dealer

b) you perform services for your tenant beyond normal care & maintenance of the property (such as: room service, making beds, proving laundry services, preparing and serving meals, etc.), or

c) you are materially participating in a farming operation. ]]> Mon, 19 Sep 2022 15:57:25 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-rental-income-affect-my-ability-to-file-for-social-security-disability-benefits/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-sue-my-employer-for-a-work-related-or-workers-comp-injury/ It depends. And it depends on whether your company carries workmans comp insurance or if they carry workers comp insurance. Here in Texas, if your employer carries workers compensation insurance, your only remedy is whats offered under the workmans comp laws. This means that you cannot sue your employer for causing your workers' comp injury. You would only be able to file a workers comp claim and be afforded those benefits which is normally just lost wage compensation at 70% of your average weekly pay as well as medical treatment covered. ]]> Thu, 15 Sep 2022 08:33:45 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-sue-my-employer-for-a-work-related-or-workers-comp-injury/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/will-i-have-to-go-to-court-on-my-workers-comp-case/ A lot of injured workers may be worried about going to Court to get their workers compensation benefits. You may not have to go to District Court, but you may end up in an Administrative Law Hearing. Very few cases actually end up in district court on a worker's comp claim. Whenever you get injured on the job, you file your claim for compensation, the insurance company will process the claim, the insurance will then accept certain parts of the claim and likely deny certain parts of the claim. If you are unsatisfied with the insurance company's denials, then you would first request a Benefit Review Conference. A benefit review conference would be held at the Division of Workers Compensation Office. So its not downtown District Court. Its more like an office conference where both parties sit around a table to try to resolve their issues with a mediator present. The benefit review conference works similarly to a mediation but you will only have 45 minutes to try and resolve your matter with the insurance company. ]]> Thu, 15 Sep 2022 07:18:33 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/will-i-have-to-go-to-court-on-my-workers-comp-case/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-find-a-new-job-if-i-am-on-workers-comp/ Mon, 12 Sep 2022 17:06:46 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-find-a-new-job-if-i-am-on-workers-comp/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/why-is-it-difficult-to-get-workers-comp-to-approve-my-surgery/ Mon, 12 Sep 2022 16:14:34 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/why-is-it-difficult-to-get-workers-comp-to-approve-my-surgery/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/expedited-reinstatement-on-my-social-security-disability-benefits/

Short Answer: Probably not, but it depends. There are two critical laws that Texas teachers should know about that will impact whether you can receive Social Security benefits.


(1) The Windfall Elimination Provision or WEP and (2) the Government Pension Offset or GPO. Both of these laws can reduce or eliminate a Social Security benefit. This will depend upon whether you as a teacher qualified for the Teachers Retirement System (TRS) and did not pay into Social Security.

Whether you are able to receive Social Security and TRS can be confusing for teachers since many have held previous jobs where they have paid into Social Security. For example,
maybe you worked in a career where you paid into Social Security for several years and you decided to have a career change and go into teaching, but you still expect some benefit from your previous employment. ]]> Thu, 26 May 2022 16:14:21 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-receive-social-security-benefits-if-i-paid-into-teacher-retirement-system-trs/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/how-much-does-a-social-security-disability-lawyer-cost/ If you have a Social Security Disability claim or appeal pending in Texas, you should consider hiring a lawyer. The SSA (Social Security Administration) disability system is very complex and takes years to become well-versed and experienced in. A claimant in San Antonio, Texas should choose an attorney who is very familiar with how the disability system works, meaning the basic requirements and qualifications for disability, how claims are approved, how evidence is reviewed, as well as the vocational medical guideline rules and federal regulations that guide decisions, and the court rulings that apply to various cases. ]]> Mon, 23 May 2022 17:12:05 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/how-much-does-a-social-security-disability-lawyer-cost/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/i-am-100-va-disabled-why-did-social-security-disability-deny-me/ As of March 27, 2017, Social Security does not have to take into account decisions made by other governmental agencies regarding a Social Security applicant's disability. Social Security essentially published a new rule stating that Social Security is no longer required to take a VA disability decision into consideration, due to the fact that different rules and standards for disability are applied by different agencies and SSA must make the determination of disability based on their own laws and regulations. In addition, the SSA does not need to explain in its decisions whether they factored in a VA decision. ]]> Fri, 20 May 2022 15:55:21 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/i-am-100-va-disabled-why-did-social-security-disability-deny-me/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-get-social-security-disability-if-i-havent-seen-a-doctor/
You can still possibly receive Social Security disability benefits without ever seeing a doctor, BUT, it will be very difficult and unlikely. The Social Security Administration (SSA) follows a strict process to determine if you are disabled. Part of this is matching your claimed conditions with the SSA's list of medical conditions. To prove that you are suffering from a specific diagnosis or condition, you will need medical documentation from a medical doctor diagnosing you with your claimed condition.

Most of us knows someone who has successfully battled cancer, but being diagnosed with any kind of cancer is still a shock. Your prognosis and treatment will largely come down to the type of cancer you have and how quickly you were able to identify it.

Due to your diagnosis of cancer or the treatments you are receiving, you may be unable to work. If you are unable to work due to a cancer diagnosis and treatment, you may be able to file for Social Security Disability benefits. As an experienced social security lawyer, we can help guide you through every step of the process. ]]> Mon, 16 May 2022 17:19:19 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/social-security-disability-benefits-for-cancer-patients/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/how-to-qualify-for-social-security-disability-benefits-with-kidney-disease/ If you've been diagnosed with kidney disease, you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers monthly financial aid for people who are disabled and unable to work anymore. Having kidney disease does not always qualify for benefits, but if you are out of work for a year or more due to your kidney disease, you certainly may qualify for disability benefits. ]]> Fri, 13 May 2022 17:12:02 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/how-to-qualify-for-social-security-disability-benefits-with-kidney-disease/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-still-receive-social-security-disability-benefits-if-i-move-to-a-different-country/
Receiving Disability Benefits While Living Overseas
The Social Security Administration (SSA) allows certain individuals to receive disability benefits even if youre living abroad. It can be difficult to understand many of the rules and exceptions that SSA has in place. Normally, individuals can receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) when living in or traveling to another country. This means that if you are only "traveling" you can still retain your disability benefits. Now if you leave the US, you may lose your SSI benefits if you leave the US for a period of 30 days or longer. Keep in mind that this only applies to SSI recipients and likely does not apply to SSDI recipients. ]]> Fri, 13 May 2022 15:54:03 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-still-receive-social-security-disability-benefits-if-i-move-to-a-different-country/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-get-social-security-disability-if-i-have-anemia/ Wed, 24 Nov 2021 16:25:28 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-get-social-security-disability-if-i-have-anemia/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/how-can-i-afford-to-hire-a-social-security-disability-attorney-if-i-do-not-have-any-money/ Wed, 27 Oct 2021 07:08:12 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/how-can-i-afford-to-hire-a-social-security-disability-attorney-if-i-do-not-have-any-money/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/impact-of-long-term-disability-on-social-security-disability-benefits/

Diabetes occurs when your body doesn't produce enough insulin to process glucose. Diabetes can sometimes be controlled with treatment such as oral medications and diet. However, that is not always the case. As a person ages, diabetes sometimes can't be controlled even if they follow doctors orders. It can lead to damage of the internal organs and other problems. ]]> Wed, 10 Feb 2021 08:43:42 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/-can-i-receive-social-security-disability-for-diabetes/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-get-social-security-disability-if-i-have-sciatica/ Tue, 09 Feb 2021 05:28:39 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/can-i-get-social-security-disability-if-i-have-sciatica/ http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/-what-questions-will-i-be-asked-at-my-social-security-disability-hearing/ ]]> Mon, 08 Feb 2021 06:34:07 +0000 Christopherle News 1 http://www.wallets.ipt.pw/News/-what-questions-will-i-be-asked-at-my-social-security-disability-hearing/
