We know that it can feel like an uphill battle, especially if your claims have been denied before. We are here to take some of the weight off your shoulders and help you navigate the complex system.

Types of SSD Benefits

Social Security is responsible for administering payments to individuals who are unable to work due to injury or disability. There are multiple levels and different benefit programs to reflect the varying degrees of disability. Work with a lawyer who is familiar with the Social Security Administration and can help determine what benefits you may qualify for. This may include SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance), SSI (Supplemental Security Income), and more.

A few of the conditions and injuries which may qualify for benefits include:

• Heart failure/disease
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Chronic pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Lupus
• Spine injuries
• Back injuries
• Bi-polar depression
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Blindness

What to Do if Your Social Security Disability Claim is Denied

If you have had your SSD claim denied, don't give up. Just because your initial claim for benefits was unsuccessful does not mean that you are not disabled; it simply means it's time to seek the help of an attorney.

Our team can help guide you through the appeals process and ensure that all information and documentation is submitted to the Social Security Administration completely, correctly, and in a timely manner. While we cannot make the claims process go faster, we can help you avoid common mistakes that make the process take much longer than it needs to.
