SOCIAL SECURITY

Are you or a loved one suffering from an injury, illness or mental or physical condition that prevents earning an income from work?

Qualifying for social security benefits can be a difficult process.  Eligibility is dependent upon whether you are able to prove with a medical or mental health history that you suffer from a condition that is disabling and expected to last at least twelve (12) months.

Filing for disability benefits is done through the Social Security Administration website.  During the process, you will receive several forms to complete.  We can assist you in completing the forms in a manner that supports your claim.  Additionally, our office will obtain the necessary medical records and reports.   It is a good idea to inform your treating physician(s) about your intention to file for disability benefits.

Statistics show that Social Security denies approximately sixty-five (65%) percent of the applications for disability benefits in the initial stage.  This step is decided by a bureaucrat who without a right to a hearing.  The rationale is that a large percentage of these applicants will give up.
