Casual Articles - How to Win Your Hepatitis Disability Case
If you were given the task of setting up a new Human Resource Department in a small company where would you begin? Such a task would be extremely daunting, but not impossible, if you follow a few tips. To begin, you need to answer some basic questions:Why do you want to set one up? What’s changed to make you or the organization believe that an HR department is needed now? What do you want the HR department to do? How will this function contribute to the success and bottom-line of the organization? Will it add value?In other words, before you begin the task, you need to have a clear definition of the mission and goals of the department and secondly, what role you will play as “head” of the HR function. Once you have c
In my opinion, in order to have any chance of winning your hepatitis disability case, you should have a relatively recent liver biopsy performed and have blood work dating back for at least 6 months prior to the date you allege you became disabled.
One benefit many hepatitis claimants have is they usually have undergone all the required medical testing prior to or during the time their disability claim with SSA is pending. Thus, if your Hepatitis is at an advanced and serious stage, winning your claim may be as simple as obtaining (
Viral marketing is a concept which allows word of mouth advertising to spread your message far and wide without ongoing maintenance and promotion from the originator.Hotmail is the most famous example I can think of to show you the power of viral marketing.Everyone who used their free email service would advertise the service at the bottom of the each email they sent out.The types of advertising messages which grow the fastest are services which advertise themselves when being used…such as the Hotmail example.Another good example is a service such as Plaxo.comThis is an online address book. When a user signs up, the service scans the user’s address book in the user’s email client and emai
Use this article as the cornerstone to developing and winning your social security disability claim.
Step 1 Having a Liver Transplant is not a prerequisite to Winning your Disability Claim
While your hepatitis or liver disease must be at a relatively advanced stage, you can win your disability case even if you have not had a liver transplant.
Step 2 Find a compassionate, supportive Gastroenterologist
This may not come as a surprise for you to learn that gastroenterologists are often not overly compassionate with regard to their patients who have hepatitis. In my practice, I talk weekly with doctors of all medical specialties regarding their patients disability claims. Without trying to stereotype, I must confess that I have talked with many gastroenterologists who appeared to lack bedside manner and patient empathy. This is important, because if your gastroenterologist is not compassionate, he or she will likely also be reluctant to support your disability case.
A supportive gastroenterologist is important for two reasons. First, they are the doctors SSA views as the specialists trained to diagnose and treat hepatitis. Second, SSA gives the most weight to the disability opinions are rendered by a claimant’s treating physician. Furthermore, SSA gives even more weight to the disability opinions rendered by a specialist such as a gastroenterologist.
Step 3 You must Undergo the Battery of Tests to Confirm the Hepatitis diagnosis and to Determine the Severity of the Disease
One key to winning your Hepatitis case is good laboratory testing. However, laboratory testing alone is not enough to win your case; once the testing is done, the issue will then be how advanced it the disease is.
The information SSA uses to approve a claim based solely on laboratory testing is contained at Listing 5.05 (Specifically 5.05(F)) of the Administration’s criteria for Digestive disorders.
F. Confirmation of chronic liver disease by liver biopsy and one of the following:
1. Ascites not attributable to other causes, recurrent or persisting for at least 3 months, demonstrated by abdominal paracentesis or associated with persistent hypoalbuminemia of 3.0 gm per deciliter (100 ml.) or less; or
2. Serum bilirubin of 2.5 mg. per deciliter (100 mg.) or greater on repeated examinations for at least 3 months; or
3. Hepatic cell necrosis or inflammation, persisting for at least 3 months, documented by repeated abnormalities of prothrombin time and enzymes indicative of hepatic dysfunction.
In my experience, many people win their disability case based on meeting the criteria in #3. The reason is that necrosis or inflammation can be confirmed by liver biopsy, and prothrombin time and liver enzyme abnormalities can be measured by a simple blood panel.

There is so much credit flying about these days, that keeping tabs on the credit you have and the credit you have had in the past, would be a full time job. That’s if you decided to apply your time to it. Not only that the threat of fraud being committed in your name is becoming a bigger and bigger problem, by the minute and could lead to many problems that could see you refused any credit in the future.There is though a knight in shining armour riding to our rescue. It is in the form of the new CreditExpert Monitoring Service, which is a subscriber service and is being made available to us, by the UK’s biggest credit reference agency Experian. It is aimed to cut out any problems that could befall our finances.It wor

Are you looking for a good and easy to work with web host? Well folks, let me steer you away from one that does a lousy job of making things easy. Don't go to Jumpline.To begin with, every time I wanted to make a change by going to my file manager, I had to shut down my firewall (Zone Alarm). I just could not get my password or username to register when the firewall was enabled.Ok. Now I finally get to the Customer Manager. Can't do much there. You have to go to the VDS Manager in order to upload files or make changes. All this time you're hanging out in cyberspace without a firewall. So you log in to the VDS Manager. Now we can upload files and make file edits, but, we're still hanging out in cyberspace un

"Let me transfer your call." What goes through your mind when you hear those words? Do you have visions of being placed on hold, waiting for someone else to come on the line, repeating what you just said, and then hearing one more time, "Let me transfer your call?" Feelings of frustration set in and your confidence in the company you dialed begins to diminish. It's a game of musical phones played to a tune that no one enjoys.If you don't like being transferred from person to person over the phone, your customers don't care for it either. There are a number of ways to transfer callers without creating more problems along the way.Listen to the caller's issue. Even if you think you know immediately what people want

In my opinion, in order to have any chance of winning your hepatitis disability case, you should have a relatively recent liver biopsy performed and have blood work dating back for at least 6 months prior to the date you allege you became disabled.
One benefit many hepatitis claimants have is they usually have undergone all the required medical testing prior to or during the time their disability claim with SSA is pending. Thus, if your Hepatitis is at an advanced and serious stage, winning your claim may be as simple as obtaining (or having SSA obtain) your relevant medical records and submitting them to SSA for review to see if it meets the criteria.
Step 4 If your Hepatitis is not advanced enough to meet the SSA Criteria, you can still win your Disability Claim (i.e. Don’t Quit!)
It is important to understand that if your Hepatitis does not meet the criteria set forth above, you can still win your disability case. How? By proving that you are unable to work full-time in an unskilled sedentary (sit down) job.
Alternatively, if you have other medical and/or psychological disorders in addition to Hepatitis, SSA will consider the combined effects of your symptoms and limitations from all your medical diagnoses. It is common for many Hepatitis patients to also have a depressive or anxiety disorder. It is possible for the combination of the Hepatitis and psychological problems to equal in severity the criteria listed above. If SSA deems this to be the case, your claim would likely be approved.
It is also possible for you to be unable to work due to severe side effects from taking medications to treat the Hepatitis. Many people are unable to work during the time and for a significant time thereafter they have received interferon treatment. The side effect of overwhelming fatigue from medication can also help you to equal in severity the criteria listed above.
Step 5 Be Free from any Alcohol or Illegal Substance Abuse
As of 1996, a person cannot be approved for disability benefits based on alcoholism and/or substance abuse. In fact, your claim will be denied by SSA if alcoholism or substance abuse is a material factor in your inability to work. You can be sure SSA will likely scrutinize your disability claim because Hepatitis can be contracted through alcoholism or substance abuse. If either of these conditions is a part of your past, to have your best shot at winning, you should be prepared to show that it is not a material factor in your inability to work.
Remember, one key to winning your disability case is to never quit and keep fighting for the benefits you deserve!
