Cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy may qualify you for Social Security benefits

Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects body movement and muscle coordination. The condition usually occurs during fetal development and is caused by damage to one or more specific areas of the brain.

Pursuing disability benefits for cerebral palsy can be difficult. To meet the criteria, applicants must have an IQ of 70 or less; or exhibit abnormal behavior patterns such as destructiveness or emotional instability; or have significant interference in communication due to speech, hearing or visual defects; or disorganization of motor function.

If your functional capacity is so restricted that you are unable to perform your past job or any other type of work, Social Security may approve your benefits. It's wise to discuss your case with an experienced Oklahoma disability attorney.
