What Our Clients Say

"When looking for an attorney, I couldn't find anything negative about the Rasansky Law Firm. When I called other law firms, I had a hard time getting through to anyone. The accident was horrifying. I lost my job after the accident. It was great someone was able to meet with me at my home. Troy eased my mind. I later met with Ryan, and he answered all my questions about my case. Ryan did a great job getting the best settlement for me."

Be Ready for a Fight- Social Security Disabilities Claims

An individual who has a physical or mental disability that prevents him from working for a year may be eligible for social security disability benefits. Social Security Disability Insurance is a part of the Social Security program that provides monthly payments to people who are unable to work, younger than the full retirement age, and have worked enough quarters to qualify for benefits. In order to qualify for this program, the claimant must prove they are disabled under rules set by the Social Security Administration. The administration generally finds the individual to be disabled only when they can show that they are unable to perform substantial employment activities.

Dallas Social Security Disability Lawyer Unfortunately for claimants, the government rejects most of the initial claims for social security disability. Moreover, the majority of subsequent claims are also rejected, leaving the applicant with no choice but to appear in court and prove their case to a judge for the benefits they need. Winning the case is important for the applicant not only because of the financial support these benefits deliver, but also the medical care that is provided under the Federal Medicare after eligibility has been proven. When it comes to social security disability, winning could be the difference between struggling financially and having no medical insurance, and enjoying a reliable stream of income and potentially life-saving medical care.

Determining Eligibility

Individuals that have a physical or mental disability that prevents them from working and have worked the specified amount of time are eligible to receive social security benefits. Some of the most common conditions that determine eligibility include, but are not limited to the following:

Amputation
Arthritis
Blindness
Heart disease
Neurological disorders
Paralysis
Schizophrenia

Improving Your Chances for Approval

The Social Security Administration denies roughly 60 percent of all initial applications for disability. Keep in mind, however, that this does not mean an individual should stop pursuing a disability claim. In fact, an applicant's chances of being approved are greatly increased with the aid of an attorney that specializes in Social Security disability claims. Anyone who is pursuing benefits, even if they have been previously rejected, is strongly advised to consult with a qualified attorney. The application process can be very grueling and takes months to complete. Not to mention the reconsiderations, hearings, and unforeseen complications that often result in delays of more than a year. An experienced attorney can evaluate the applicant's claim and apply the aggressive tactics needed to expedite the process. Most importantly, they will work diligently to make sure the claim gets approved for benefits.

The social security disability approval process can be complicated, frustrating and disappointing without the assistance of an experienced attorney.
