Disabilities that Prevent You From Full Time Work in North Carolina.

When you are considering whether or not you have the opportunity to apply for disability there is something important to consider.  Your mental condition may prevent you from holding down a job as well as the obvious physical infirmities.  You must prove that your limitations prohibit you from holding your past job as well as other less demanding work.

Social Security classifies jobs based on their physical requirements.  Sedentary work is considered a job which requires lifting up to 10 pounds and standing on your feet for as much as 2 hours per day.  Light work is defined by the ability to lift up to 20 pounds and being on your feet the majority of the day.  Meanwhile, heavy work may require the lifting of up to 100 pounds.

Where you fit into this equation may require a highly qualified North Carolina disability attorney.  For aggressive social security disability representation throughout the state call Wilmington attorney Alden B. Cole.  He will aggressively act on your behalf.  Call him today to arrange an appointment at his office at 201 North Front Street in Wilmington at (910) 231-2042.
