Are You Eligible for Social Security
Disability
Benefits?
To receive disability benefits under the Social
Security Administration or Supplemental Security
Income programs, you must have physical or mental
health problems severe enough to keep you from
working at a paying job for at least 12 months. The
test isn’t whether you have been unable to get a job;
the test is whether you are capable of doing jobs
that exist in the work force in significant
numbers.
The Social Security Administration uses an extensive
set of regulations taking into account your medical
condition, your age, education, training, and work
experience in deciding if you qualify for disability
payments.
About 60% of all applicants are initially denied
benefits! But many of these people do ultimately
receive benefits through a hearing. The hearing is
informal and many may think they can easily represent
themselves, but statistics have shown that people
represented by an attorney have been successful more
often than those without an attorney.
When should you contact an attorney? As with most
things in life, the sooner the better. As your
attorney we will do more than just sit at a hearing
and ask questions. There is much pre-hearing
preparation, analysis and evidence gathering. We will
also work with your doctor explaining the social
security regulations and obtaining a report. For
these reasons, the earlier we start to work on your
case the better your chances are of receiving
benefits.
How much does it cost to hire an attorney? Attorneys
charge clients in different ways, but all fees must
be approved by the Social Security Administration. We
do not charge you unless you receive benefits. To pay
attorney fees, the Social Security Administration
will usually withhold 25% of past due benefits.
Nothing will be withheld from your regular monthly
checks.
Call us today and we can sit and discuss your
potential Social Security disability claim.
Your initial
consultation is always
free.
