Social Security Disability Attorney in West Palm Beach, Florida

Do you need a West Palm Beach Lawyer to help with your Disability Benefits Application?

If you have ever had a social security disability benefit claim turned down you will know how frustrating that can be. Anyone who has a disability that will leave them incapable of working for a period of a year or more can make a claim for disabled benefits. Many SSI SSDI applications are turned down though simply because the Social Security Administration criterion is so strict. Close to 40% of applications are refused. This can be devastating if you are living on the poverty line following an unexpected physical or mental disability. A disability lawyer may well be the difference in turning your fortunes around.

The SSA also has a nation-wide toll-free number: 1-800-772-1213.

You may well have already discovered that any disability or partial disability that will not keep you from being able to work for at least 12 months will not entitle you to any social security disability benefits. You may be able to receive workers compensation or hire a personal injury lawyer or go through some other form of compensation but a social security benefit will not be in the picture. Sometimes it can be hard to show that your disability will in fact last that length of time. Medical tests and records that support the SSA impairment list guidelines are probably the main factors that will help you with your SSI SSDI claim.

Whatever your occupation or how long you have been working, (even if you have not worked for some time) you may well be entitled to disabled benefits. Talking to a qualified disability lawyer is probably your best bet in getting an idea of what you may be able to receive and how to go about it. If you have already had an SSDI claim turned down disability insurance lawyers can help you through the appeal process – don’t give up.

According to the 2002 census West Palm Beach has a median age of 49.3. If you are in this category the chances of your winning an SSDI claim are pretty good. This is because you will be considered less likely to be able to transfer your worker skills to another position within the same or a different industry or work environment. If you are younger you may have more difficulty persuading the SSA that you are incapable of working. Whichever age category you fall in to much is dependent on the severity of your disability.

Younger people with a disability that is not particularly easy to diagnose in severity or how long the condition will go on should definitely consult an experienced disability attorney. Depending on the level of impairment those who are moving on in years should also consider the services of a long term disability lawyer.

Ethnicity, sexual persuasion, an what area of West Palm Beach have nothing to do with whether you can qualify for a social security disability benefit. For SSI what matters is your income status, for SSDI what matters is how much ‘insurance’ you have as to how much you receive.
