CE’s Proved Unnecessary

We recently represented a 59-year-old phlebotomist from Smithtown living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”), essential tremors, chronic pain, and several other serious medical conditions. Before retaining our office, she had applied for Social Security Disability benefits on her own and was denied twice.

Because she had already completed consultative examinations through the IMA Disability Services during her prior applications, we filed a new application for her in April 2025. This time, we focused on gathering and submitting comprehensive medical records and detailed summaries from her treating physicians — the doctors who know her history best, and whose consistent opinions carry significant weight under Social Security’s rules. With this evidence, we secured a fully favorable decision in just four months.

This case highlights how experienced legal representation can make a meaningful difference in the disability process. Understanding what Social Security looks for, and how to present the strongest evidence, can be the key to moving from repeated denials to a timely approval.

If you are facing challenges with your own disability claim, our office is here to guide you through the process and fight for the benefits you deserve. Our office, located in Melville, NY, offers a free phone consultation.
