Has a Stroke (CVA) Made it Difficult for You to Work?
Stroke or CVA (cerebrovascular accident) is a leading cause of death among adults in America. A stroke can also make it very difficult for the survivor to work.

SSD Claims and Stroke Symptoms
Stroke is caused when a rupture or blockage in a blood vessel limits or stops the flow of oxygen to the brain. The effects of a stroke are influenced by which part of the brain was affected. This plays an important role in SSD cases, because we have to demonstrate that your job duties are impaired by your condition.
For instance, if your stroke has affected your speech and speaking is an important part of your job, the SSA must take that into consideration.
Effects suffered by people who have suffered a stroke include:
- Difficulty speaking
- Vision problems
- Coordination problems
- Numbness in the limbs
- Paralysis
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it may seem obvious why you are unable to work. However, the SSA requires documented proof before it will approve you for SSD benefits. Our attorneys know the Social Security system, how to compile evidence and present it to the government officials. We have a proven record of success obtaining successful results for Social Security Disability claims and appeals.
