Understanding Heart & Cardiovascular Conditions

Heart and cardiovascular conditions affect how well the heart and blood vessels move blood through the body. Conditions like heart failure, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and valve disorders can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, swelling in the arms and legs, dizziness, and severe fatigue. These symptoms can make daily tasks harder, including walking, climbing stairs, focusing, or doing physical work. Many people also need frequent checkups, medication changes, tests, or procedures to manage their condition and prevent it from getting worse. Some people also have trouble lifting objects or standing. Because these issues reduce stamina and daily functioning, they may prevent someone from working safely or staying consistent with job demands.

London Disability did a great job fighting for me. Although I was denied several times, they did not give up fighting to pursue what they knew was the right thing. If you’re in a tough spot with no help, in pain and can’t function, if all doors have closed and you feel like giving up, don’t, just pick up the phone and call London Disability, because it’s time you had a positive change.

I just wanted to say that my team from London Disability is the best. They have been fighting for my case since 2020 and not once did they give up on me when I was denied twice. My case manager called me with the best news ever that we had won our case. I was so happy and she really made my day.
-K.M.
I had a great experience with London Disability. I was two years without any income. They listened to my case, understood my issues, and handled it from there. I couldn’t do it without you. It’s very much appreciated. Great job.
