Ulcers can develop in any soft tissue of the body but are most common in the digestive tract and on the skin. Ulcers alone rarely qualify for disability benefits, but when they are severe, chronic or long-term, and prevent gainful employment, they can meet Social Security Disability (SSD) medical eligibility requirements.

Ulcers are often seen in combination with other medical conditions. The combined effects of multiple medical issues can satisfy the Social Security Administration’s (SSA’s) severity level requirements for granting disability benefits as well.

Recipients of Social Security Disability benefits may find that moving out of the country affects whether they are able to continue receiving benefits. That said, this depends largely on which type of benefits they receive and where they are moving.

In many cases, non-US citizens are able to receive disability benefits from the Social Security Administration.

The first example would be a permanent resident in the US who is not a citizen, but has resided in the country for long enough to have worked and paid into the Social Security payroll tax pool. This would mean the individual was a permanent resident who met the general qualifications for Social Security Disability benefits.

There are two primary public medical insurance programs available to disabled individuals: Medicare and Medicaid.

The Chief Administrative Law Judge (CALJ) is in charge of developing and disseminating policy between all the levels of administrative law judges. Administrative law judges preside over hearings for disability benefit applications.

In general, administrative law judges preside over jury trials and issue rulings from bench trials that pertain to administrative government agencies. Social Security services and the Social Security Administration are subject to administrative law, though usually in less formal settings than trials.

Computation years are an important component in determining when a person is eligible for Social Security Disability benefits and how much their payments from the Social Security Administration will be – particularly when it comes to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

Many people who are filing for Social Security disability benefits find themselves in the tough position of being unable to continue working and earning and income with their labor, but unable to speed up the process for collecting income from disability benefits. Needless to say, this can lead to several stressful (and impoverished) months of frustration.

You may have made it through the daunting and complicated process of applying for Social Security disability benefits only to have your claim denied. This is not a reason to be discouraged from pursuing the benefits you may qualify for, as roughly 70% of initial applications for SSDI are denied. Understanding why your claim was denied is an important step, before you make the same mistake again and are forced to wait even longer for an appeal hearing.

Filing for Social Security disability benefits can be a long, tiresome process. For many, it becomes discouraging after their initial claim is denied. After the request for a redetermination is also denied (as they almost always are), it can be tempting to give up. Many people head into their hearing with an Administrative Law Judge expecting to be turned down again. Because of this, most claimants fail to properly prepare themselves for their disability hearing. This is perhaps the biggest mistake made by disability claimants.

It is estimated that one in every 5,000 people suffers from Hereditary Telangiectasia. In order to qualify for the benefits offered to people with this condition, the patient must have had three or more hemorrhages that required a blood transfusion in the past five months.
