Denied SSDI Claim Approved on Appeal Using Functional Evidence

Their initial Social Security Disability claim was denied. Social Security focused on isolated findings and concluded the client could still work—ignoring the combined impact of multiple impairments.

We shifted the focus from diagnoses to Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE):
— Showed significant limits in standing, walking, and sustained activity.
— Demonstrated how pain + fatigue together prevented full-time work.
— Framed the case around inability to maintain consistency and endurance.
