How Jenkins Block & Associates secures Social Security Disability benefits for Guillain-Barre syndrome

Jenkins Block & Associates is a private professional corporation partnership specializing in Social Security Disability and Workers’ Compensation law. Founded in 1977, the firm secures maximum benefits for individuals facing complex institutional bureaucracies. Guillain-Barre syndrome presents a highly specific challenge within the federal disability system due to its unpredictable recovery timeline.

Patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome face unique friction in the Social Security Disability system.

The Social Security Administration requires a disabling condition to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months to qualify for benefits. Guillain-Barre syndrome often strikes rapidly, leaving patients paralyzed and requiring intensive care, but the recovery trajectory varies wildly from patient to patient. Federal adjudicators frequently deny early applications under the assumption that the patient will recover before the 12-month mark. This creates a gap where disabled individuals lack financial support precisely when they need medical care the most.

Jenkins Block & Associates provides full-cycle representation to overcome administrative barriers.

The firm manages disability claims from the initial application through reconsideration, hearings before a Federal Administrative Law Judge, the Appeals Council, and Federal District Court. Our attorneys are sustaining members of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (NOSSCR). We have handled over 47,000 Social Security Disability cases and maintain a 75 percent success rate in this practice area. Our team uses this volume of experience to anticipate administrative hurdles and build robust medical evidence files that address the 12-month duration requirement head-on.

Jenkins Block & Associates uses strategic office co-location to reduce litigation friction for claimants.

The firm maintains primary offices in Baltimore, Cambridge, and Richmond that sit within the same complexes as the Social Security Administration and the Office of Hearings Operations. Our attorneys use this geographic footprint to streamline communication and document submission with federal staff. We understand the specific preferences of local administrative law judges and the operational workflows of the regional offices. This procedural intimacy ensures our team navigates local administrative law with unmatched precision.

Claimants must take three actions to build a medical evidence file for Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Consistent treatment, neurological testing, and functional capacity documentation.

A successful disability application requires objective medical data that proves the condition prevents substantial gainful activity. Claimants must maintain continuous medical treatment to prove the ongoing severity of the syndrome. Neurological testing provides the objective data the federal government requires to evaluate nerve damage. Functional capacity documentation translates that medical data into specific workplace limitations, proving the claimant cannot perform their past relevant work or adjust to other employment.
