/Facts: Claimant was 35 years old. Claimant suffered a mental breakdown in February 2010 and was hospitalized with severe depression with suicidal ideation. Since that time he was on medical leave from his employer and stopped working as a truck driver. His alleged onset date of disability is February 12, 2010. He was denied on August 31, 2010 as Social Security Administration found his condition was not severe enough to warrant benefits. He retained our firm to file the appeal which we did in September 2010. At the hearing the claimant testified regarding his impairments and the Administrative Law Judge from the bench found that he was entitled to benefits.
Case Result: Claimant was awarded $8700 in retroactive benefits along with a monthly benefit of $1300 going into the future.
