How many Social Security disability cases are approved for back pain?There is no statistical data to indicate how many Social Security cases are approved for back pain. It would be safe to say, however, that a significant number of disability cases involve back pain and this can be in the form of social security disability and SSI cases that are filed on the basis of degenerative disc disease, lower lumber back pain, thoracic back conditions, stenosis, and degenerative cervical disc disease. The social security administration has a poor history of addressing the issue of pain and sometimes fails to properly consider the limitations that occur as a result of significant back pain. For this reason, it is advisable for an individual who is filing for disability to have a well-documented medical history of their back pain, as to cause and treatment of the condition. It can never be understated: social security disability and SSI cases are won on the basis of medical records and what they have to say about a claimant's condition, i.e. their ability or inability to engage in daily activities (which translates to "the ability to engage in work").
