Law Offices of Lori A Gaglione had a recent case in Thomasville, GA. Our client, John K., was only 26 with major mental health issues. He had never worked due to these severe conditions. The younger you are, the
more difficult it is to prove your disability. Lori Gaglione, as an experienced Disability Attorney, knew we could not win with client’s current treatment records alone. We also knew John had been through great difficulty, both mentally and emotionally, beginning in grade school. We spent some time and searched for old records. Our investigation led us to his foster care placements, alternative education schools, school
psychological interventions and The Individualized Educational IEP plans, teachers’ behavior reviews
and inpatient mental hospitalizations. We submitted these records.
And because we were able to present a more complete picture of his lifelong struggles with behavior, the judge was able to understand his current disability, through the lens of his past.
John received disability benefits.
