Apply for Social Security Disability
The Decision to Apply for Social Security Disability is Not Easy.
If you have arrived at this page, it is likely that you are dealing with a serious medical issue that is affecting your ability to work. Thankfully, the Social Security Administration provides recourse via the SSDI/SSI programs, which allow a disabled individual to collect financial and healthcare benefits. However, as most people who file a disability claim come to realize, the process is confusing and the regulations are complicated.
Current statistics show that approximately 70% of disability claims are denied by SSA. That is why it is so important to have a knowledgeable legal representative who can help you navigate the complex claim process and put you in the best position to win your much-needed benefits.
