Social Security Disability
If you have been employed at a company which is covered under the Social Security Act and become disabled, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. The Social Security Administration states that a “disability” can be physical, emotional or a combination of both. If you can show that you are unable to perform a job in society either physically or emotionally, you may be eligible for benefits.
Applying for Social Security Disability (SSD) can be a daunting process. Handling the application and appeals process on your own can be done, but is often overwhelming. You must have a doctor’s opinion stating that you are disabled. The doctor’s opinion has to be supported by clinical and laboratory measures. However, many disabling conditions are difficult to diagnose clinically and therefore have to be carefully presented to the courts in order to convince the government that you are indeed eligible for benefits.
Statistics show that people who are represented by a Social Security Disability attorney are most likely to secure benefits. At Luxon & Zang, P.C. we recommend that disabled individuals seek the services of an experienced Social Security Disability attorney to help work through the application and appeals process and effectively present your disability case.
