Causes. Leg length discrepancies can be caused by poor alignment of the pelvis or simply because one leg is structurally longer than the other. Regardless of the reason, your body wants to be symmetrical and will do its best to compensate for the length difference.
Date of Onset. When the Social Security Administration (SSA) refers to a disability applicant's Date of Onset, they are referring to the date that a Social Security Disability applicant became disabled. When you fill out your Social Security Disability claim forms, you will be asked to provide the date your disability began.
Waiting Period The Social Security Disability waiting period is a period of five months in which those who are approved for Social Security Disability benefits are not paid. The period exists to ensure that during the early months of a qualifying disability, the Social Security Administration is not paying benefits to people who end up not having a long-term disability. In some cases, this means that an individual may recover from a physical or mental impairment(s) or be able to work and thus no longer needs benefits.
