Joe was a South Carolina computer analyst who suffered a stroke causing severe weakness and lack of coordination on one side of his body. 

Because his job was mostly sedentary and involved mental skills, he thought that he could return to work after undergoing physical rehabilitation. But when he went back to his job, he found he was having problems thinking and getting his work done properly, accurately and quickly enough to meet his employer’s expectations.

He was eventually asked to stop work and to file for disability.

Joe’s private long term disability claim was approved but his Social Security claim was denied. He did some internet research and decided to call The Law Offices of Robertson Wendt because of their extensive experience and Rob’s board certified specialization in Social Security disability.

On reviewing his file it was determined that the government doctors and disability examiners had denied the claim based on Joe’s physical limitations, which limited him to sedentary office jobs. However, no one had thought to properly evaluate Joe’s problems with memory, understanding, and concentration.

Rob's disability law team arranged for Joe to undergo a complete neuropsychological evaluation, which showed he had suffered severe cognitive problems due to his stroke and other medical problems. 

With proper medical documentation, Joe’s claim was approved by an administrative law judge—some 18 months after Joe’s claim was first filed.
