Your mention of "recurrent clots, pain, and pulmonary embolisms" certainly suggests you have a case. However, that is based only on the information you provided. There are more questions to be addressed to gauge an individual's chances of winning a Social Security claim. If you are interested in a case evaluation, contact a lawyer in your area.

I applied for social security benefits in 2006 and was denied. I have a blood clotting disorder called Factor V Leiden and have had surgery about every year since 2005. I have 5 stents in my left hip because my vein almost collapsed in 2005. I have been hospitalized for 15 pulmonary embolisms in my lungs and had surgery in March 2010 because me stents had become clotted. I now have a DVT in my left leg and my stents are going to have to be cleared out again. My leg is in constant pain. I am also a Type 1 Diabetic since childhood, anemic, and have hypothyroidism. I am 31 years old. How does my case compare now to my case in 2006 with all of the recurrent clots, pain, and pulmonary embolisms?
Thank you.

I'm glad the article helps. It is surprising what can make a person disabled. Even "manageable" conditions may be disabling for some people. It all depends on how the condition affects you!

Good luck!

thank you very much for this. I have been dealing with anemia since I was 15 years old and supplements and diet have not helped, a hematologist has now told me I will need IV infusions. I am also severely hearing impaired and have a son with ADHD who I have no energy to handle. It's been really crappy! I have had no luck finding work although I am doggedly pursuing it. I have no idea of social security would take a case like mine but my mom is HOH and said deafness is not enough to qualify for SS (I know it's not that much $ anyway but I sure can't survive without a job *or* social security, though I would much rather be employed).

Thanks for sharing. I was looking for something else, but this info is beneficial to know.
