Cardiac disease continues to be one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Various heart conditions and heart failure cause excessive medical bills, lifelong disability, and death. Living with any heart condition puts strain and stress on a person, making daily life difficult. Social Security disability benefits can be the one saving grace for many.

The compassionate lawyers at Grundy Disability Group can help.

Disability for Heart Problems

Cardiac conditions essentially starve the heart of oxygen. This reduces its ability to function correctly. Arteries become blocked over time, which puts further stress on the heart. Cardiac patients may have less energy, shortness of breath, and other symptoms, as well.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) requires specific documentation for the claimant to be approved for benefits. This includes a complete medical history of related symptoms, medical diagnoses, and all treatments with related results. Support should also include angiograms, EKGs, and other cardiac testing.

The SSA currently recognizes several heart impairments that can qualify one for disability benefits. These include conditions, like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), that can cause permanent heart damage or prohibit the heart from functioning as it should.

If requirements are not fully met, Grundy Disability Group may still be able to help based on related factors. Heart patients commonly also experience psychological issues due to their illness, including depression and anxiety. This can be difficult to document, but we can build a successful case around comorbid conditions.

— Tee Kelley

I cannot say enough
good about Matthew Grundy and
ALL of his staff.

I contacted his office October 2020, because I had and still am, fighting breast cancer. I had numerous surgeries, still doing chemo, finished radiation and still fighting the fight. They took care of everything and that was such a blessing because I was too sick and weak to do it myself. I would absolutely recommend them and I am so grateful that a friend referred them to me. They were always polite and punctual returning my calls and emails. Don’t go it alone, let them take care of it, reserve your strength to fight for your health.”

Dear Matt

I want to take a moment to say I appreciate all you do for clients (me) throughout the SSD process. You provided me top-shelf representation, case knowledge and follow up. Thank you!”

— A.S. Leawood, KS

A friend referred
me to Matt Grundy.
He was amazing!

I felt the weight lift off my shoulders. He was caring and efficient and took over the whole process. He handled all correspondence and was my voice in my hearing. I was ecstatic when Matt got my disability approved. I wish I had started with Matt before I ever filed.”

— W.T. Kansas City

After being denied trying to file on my own
I was fortunate to have Grundy Disability Group
recommended to me.

A short survey and a visit then they took control of my case. This was the best decision I’ve ever made. Matt answered all my questions without hesitation and gave me confidence about my case. I’ve already recommended them to others and will do so gladly. Thank you Matt and his team!”

— W.S. Kansas City

I had a great experience
working with this office.

They are thorough, and get the job done with the least amount of stress on the client as possible. I would recommend them to anyone I know who needs help navigating their SSDI claim. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

— A.D. Kansas City

Thanks again for
your help on all this.

From the first conversation I had with Susan Frank, whose advice set me on a course to lay the groundwork of a successful claim – months before I hired you. I spoke to a couple of other places before I spoke to her and there was no comparison. The difference between my initial contact with Susan VS the others was a personal connection and actual value in the phone call. It was informative, connected and extremely helpful. This built trust and made my decision to choose your organization easy. My ongoing dealings with you only confirmed my choice. Matt is extremely connected with his clients and communicates promptly and thoughtfully.”
