Social Security Disability

The process of applying for disability benefits can be extremely challenging for someone who is not familiar with the system. The fact is that more than 65 percent of the people who start the process on their own have their initial claims turned down. A lawyer can significantly improve your chances of getting Social Security Disability by presenting your case in the most favorable light.

Questions To Ask:

Are you working?

If you are working and making an average of more than $860 a month, you generally cannot be considered disabled.

Is your condition “severe”?

For your claim to be considered, your condition must interfere with basic work-related activities.

Is your condition found on SSA list of disabling conditions?

For each of the major body systems, the Social Security Administration has a list of disabling conditions. If your condition is severe but not on the list, the SSA must determine if it interferes with your ability to work as you did previously.

Can you do any other type of work?

If you cannot do the work you did in the past, the SSA may require you to do other work.
