My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962.

The UBPN board work very hard to have are injuries included for Social Security Disability , Description of medical condition :shock: ;) :D
Because of there efforts , I was able to get SSD without a appeal or getting a Lawyer, Then again my good arm got rip up driving a semi after 25 years a 18 wheeler with birth erbs :shock:
There is the birth injury and then there is so many injured latter in life to :shock:
In ether case , If you have issues in both arms, Keeping record is so important in a WC case a SSD case and injured at birth case. I done both :evil: :twisted: I did both :shock:
Get all your records you can as a medical issue, EVERYTHING counts :shock: ;) Every medical and mental issues count in a determination, period ;)
Why there is so many appeals, ???
Please explain, :roll: I like the idea of a faster lane to approve, but what is needed??? :shock: :shock: and how can I help??? :shock: :roll:
