Is an Attorney Required to Get Social Security Disability Benefits?

When you apply for disability benefits, you will likely encounter difficulties. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has many strict rules and regulations in place for applicants. The process of receiving SSD benefits is long and complex. People are often denied upon their first attempt.

The news agency USA Today made a powerful comment about this process. It said, “Over 60 percent of applications are denied, and tens of thousands of people die each year waiting for benefits.”

Even if a person doesn’t ‘die while waiting,’ it is common to be denied on his or her first attempt to get SSD benefits. It is thus vital to have an attorney who knows the ins and outs of Social Security law by your side. We can provide you with a much better chance of receiving the benefits you deserve.

How Mike Morse Law Firm Serving Detroit, MI Can Help

The process of applying for and receiving disability benefits on your own can be overwhelming. The SSA system is extensive and intricate. To correctly apply and be successful, one must be patient and attentive to details. Mike Morse Law Firm can provide you with a knowledgeable disability lawyer with these necessary skills to help you receive the benefits you need.

Our capable social security disability lawyers can ensure that your medical treatment history and work history are documented accurately. We understand that this information is critical to proving your disability and that it must be precise. We will make certain that we prepare and file correctly for all programs for which you qualify. While we prepare what you need, you can have peace of mind.

With our help, you can feel like these two satisfied clients who said:

“I hope to never deal with social security insurance again, but if I do, you’ll be the first call I make. Your office made this stressful situation simple and straightforward.” – Rosalyn D.

“Your service on my case made all the difference in the outcome – which I’m very happy with. I’ll definitely be recommending your firm to others with social security issues.” – Lenroe B.

How to Know If You’re Eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits

The law outlines several requirements to receive social security benefits. First, you must have been unable to work at your place of employment for at least 30 days because of a disabling condition.

Second, your state of health must have been affected or will affect your work routine. You need to either (1) have been unable to work for at least the previous 12 months, or (2) expect that your condition will prevent you from working for at least 12 months.

The Social Security Administration provides a list of impairments that may qualify for disability benefits. It is a long and difficult list to understand. Basically, the reasons for disability claims fall into two categories – physical impairment claims and mental disorder disability claims.

Physical impairment disability claims can include:

  • Immune system disorders such as HIV infection, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus
  • Cancer or other malignant diseases
  • Neurological disorders
  • Hematological disorders
  • Endocrine disorders
  • Skin disorders
  • Respiratory disorders
  • Cardiovascular impairments
  • Disorders of the musculoskeletal system
  • Problems that affect the senses and speech – For example, blindness, partial loss of vision, loss of speech, and hearing loss
  • Digestive system disorders
  • Genitourinary disorders
  • Congenital disorders

Mental disorder disability claims may be filed regarding:

  • Schizophrenia
  • Bipolar
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Trauma or stress-related disorders

A person may have more than one physical and mental impairment. When combined, these can certainly impede a person’s ability to work. Unfortunately, the Social Security Administration often does not consider the circumstances and may deny your claim based on each individual impairment. Thus, it is essential to have an experienced lawyer for disability claims on your side fighting for you.

We can help you irrefutably establish your case. The key to your success will be having an attorney who can use the law to get you the benefits you deserve.

Mike Morse Law Firm Will Fight for Your Social Security Disability Benefits

Understanding the law connected to social security benefits is complicated. Trying to file a claim correctly can seem like an impossible puzzle. This is especially true when you are physically and mentally struggling with disabling impairment and pain. So instead of taking on all the burden yourself, let us put our expertise to work for you.

MelissaGoogle review
I was needlessly injured in a vehicle accident on I-75 which left me with several injuries some that will alter certain abilities in my life. James Lane and Rima Najor took my case for the Mike Morse law firm and gained a settlement above what I thought I would receive. I highly recommend this firm if you are injured and need somewhere to turn for help.
