The Social Security Disability Process

Social Security Disability (SSD)
If you are unable to work due to a disability but your initial claim for Social Security Disability benefits has been denied, we will advocate on your behalf for coverage and financial support.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
If your work history does not qualify you for SSD but you are unable to work because of medical problems, or if you have a disabled child in need of assistance and medical care, we can help.

SSD / SSI Appeals Process
If you have been denied SSD or SSI benefits, we can help you appeal your claim, from reconsideration to the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearing, before the Appeals Council, and in federal court appeals, if necessary.

ALJ Disability Hearings
We provide strong, thorough advocacy at disability hearings in front of the ALJ for individuals whose Social Security Disability claims have been turned down twice.

Types of Claims

Mental Disability Claims
We provide advocacy, referrals and support for individuals seeking SSD due to mental health issues, including depression, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, brain injury and other mental disability issues.

Spinal Cord Disability Claims
If you have sustained a back, neck or spinal cord injury that prohibits you from maintaining substantial gainful employment of any kind, we can help.

Heart Condition Claims
If you have a heart condition that prevents you from working, we can help seek the financial support you need.

Arthritis Claims
We seek Social Security Disability benefits for clients who cannot work because of moderate to severe arthritis.

Fatigue, Pain and Other Hard-to-Measure Claims
Often, people with difficult-to-measure conditions, such as fibromyalgia, are denied SSD benefits. We can help.
