Many people do not know that they are eligible for benefits for being disabled, especially for issues that they have had in the past. Quite a few people that are in their 60's only think about their retirement benefits and they forget about illnesses they suffered from as kids. This is why post polio disability or PPS the syndrome claims are so low, and so few people are awarded anything.
Getting the money and medical benefits offered from being disabled from the horrible infection in the 1950's from this issue is on the rise, and just because you don't still have the original issue doesn't mean you don't have problems from it. The effects could come between thirty and forty years after initial infection. Some of the symptoms seen with PPS are fatigue, bone deformities such as scoliosis, breakdown of many joints and atrophy of muscle groups.
Social Security Administration has seen a larger number of PPS claims in recent years, due to those who suffered from polio coming into the age where PPS strikes. When you were a child if the infection was quite severe, it's expected that your PPS will be equally as such and especially so if there were many years of good physical shape before your PPS was diagnosed. The initial signs are years of declining physical health followed by short bouts of no issues at all.
This disease can be completely disabling for some, as symptoms could interfere with their ability to function in every day life. Having weak muscles in the diaphragm can cause trouble breathing, muscles used in swallowing or eating are effected and mobility could be effected also. Therefore it is imperative if your physical decline is due to PPS, you seek out assistance from Social Security to get benefits started.
There are some medical questions and requirements that have to be dealt with in the application process. You won't need original medical records showing your infection but will need all current ones showing PPS issues. This includes breathing issues, problems with talking, eating and walking as well as problems using your arms as they are all symptoms.
All reports from doctors and speech pathologists showing troubles swallowing, talking and eating should be included. Also anything from a doctor showing that your daily life is majorly impacted by the lack of things you can do are very important. Without it, your assistance may be denied.
There are other options regarding your capability of working as far as the Social Security Administration is concerned. Your capacity to work would be determined by a residual function capacity test as well as looking at your education level, to decide if you can do any kind of work. Some people can only work sitting, while others are very limited physically and cannot speak coherently to others making employment impossible.
If you've always been in positions of a certain type and can't do that kind of work anymore, you might be given training for free on how to do another job if you are under the age of 50 and physically capable. If you're found medically unable due to PPS however, you may be awarded your Disability case. To get details about your specific case, it's best to speak with an attorney.
