Welcome to Season 2, Episode 4 of Winning Isn't Easy: Navigating Your Social Security Disability Claim. In this episode, we'll dive into Winning Your Social Security Disability Claim for Migraines: A Step-By-Step Guide.

Many people applying for Social Security Disability benefits are frustrated by how difficult it can be to prove conditions that don’t always show up clearly on imaging or lab tests. Chronic migraines are a prime example. While migraines can cause severe pain, nausea, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, and cognitive disruption, the SSA often scrutinizes these claims closely under SSDI and SSI rules. In this episode of Winning Isn’t Easy, we take a focused look at how the Social Security Administration evaluates migraine-related disability claims. We explain why migraine claims are frequently challenged, what makes migraines medically determinable, and how the SSA assesses their functional impact on your ability to work. We break down the importance of documenting frequency, severity, triggers, and post-migraine symptoms, as well as how headache diaries, treatment records, and residual functional capacity forms can strengthen your case. By the end of the episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how to present chronic migraines to the SSA, what evidence carries the most weight, and how to better position your claim to improve your chances of securing the disability benefits you deserve.

In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:

One - Winning Your Social Security Disability Migraine Case

Two - The Power of a Migraine Diary

Three - More Secrets to Keeping a Winning Migraine Diary

Whether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey. Don't miss it.
