Example cases-A 58 year old man suffered a stroke and was unable to continue working in his current profession. I filed a Social Security Disability case on behalf of this client, which resulted in an award of approx.$2,400 per month at the initial application, with nearly $10,000 in retroactive benefits received. As of April 2013, 4 claimants were awarded on-the-record decisions prior to hearing before ALJ.
