Social Security Disability Benefits
Disabled individuals who have worked at least five out of the last ten years may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits (SSD). These benefits may include monthly income benefits, Medicare benefits, disabled child benefits, and survivor benefits.
Social Security Disability Process
Although many individuals wait to hire a Social Security attorney, statistics show that individuals who retain an experienced lawyer when applying for Social Security will have a better chance for success in effectively obtaining benefits. I meticulously help clients evaluate their individual circumstances and represent clients from their claim through appeal.
Disability Claim Phases:
- Thoroughly prepare and complete the application to apply for Social Security benefits
- Submit the disability claim application to the Social Security Administration (SSA)
- Typically, the SSA will deny the claim for benefits
- Prepare and file a request for reconsideration
- Typically the SSA will also deny the request for reconsideration
- Request a hearing for reconsideration by an administrative law judge
- File a disability claim appeal if the petition is still denied
Do Not Give Up
The length of the disability claim process coupled with the probability of the claim being denied can be very discouraging. However, do not give up. As an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer, I can help you work through the claim process and work to achieve the benefits you need and deserve.
