Woman with Cancer Denied Social Security Disability

A woman is Arizona is so frustrated by the Social Security disability process that she has put a plea to President Obama on You Tube.  Gayle Debilbiss of Tuscon, Arizona suffers from several medical conditions and was recently diagnosed with Stage 3-4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.  She has applied for Social Security disability and been denied - twice.  In this video she expresses the frustrations of so many of my clients.  Having worked hard all of her life she now needs some help -- but cannot get it.  I would tell her what I tell all of my clients: DON"T GIVE UP!  The standard for Social Security disability is much higher than most people think.  You must be unable to do any type of work on a full time basis for a year or more.  But, the standard is not impossible to meet.  Ms. Debilibiss should hire an experienced Social Security disability lawyer who will build her case file and get specific information from her doctors about the limitations she suffers from her medical conditions.  Medical evidence is the key to getting benefits.
